libavcodec/amfenc: Vulkan initialization support for encoder.
Added linux support for amf encoder through vulkan. To use h.264(AMD VCE) encoder on linux amdgru-pro version 19.20+ and amf-amdgpu-pro package(amdgru-pro contains, but does not install automatically) are required. This driver can be installed using amdgpu-pro-install script in official amd driver archive. Initialization of amf encoder occurs in this order: 1) trying to initialize through dx11(only windows) 2) trying to initialize through dx9(only windows) 3) trying to initialize through vulkan Only Vulkan initialization available on linux.
