Whats new comparing to 1.1:
- API 1.24
- Added User-Defined Bitrate Control support

Intel Media SDK depends on a special version of LibVA which comes with Intel Media Server Studio installation and is not in upstream, so this version is not compatible with the LibVA/driver available at 01.org.
Additinal limitations specific for open source release:
- SW fallback is unsupported for all components.
- Rotation not supported.
- VPP Advanced deinterlacing mode with scene change detection (MFX_DEINTERLACING_ADVANCED_SCD) is not supported.
