Git commit 5aae9b7c21ab662d63b49f165163984809c1d585 by Gilles Caulier.

Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'.

Move AVPlayer config widgets to core/QtAV to allow to re-use these settings view in a new Video section from digiKam Setup dialog.
the goal is to be able to configure the video decoder, the audio backend, and the video renderer with video preview framework,
to prevent dysfunctions while playing audio and video media if wrong decoder/backend/renderer is selected by default.

Currently none of these settings is possible in digiKam and playing video and audio always depends of default settings done in QtAV
framework which can be badly configured for the available hardwares and modules in client computer.

TODO: add the new video config pannel in digiKam Setup dialog to configure decoder/backend/renderer.

Hide advanced settings for each decoder as nothing is saved and restored between the sessions. Only the list of decoder and the priority is saved
