Simpler output for less technical users #387

Description

@lines-of-codes

I know that vainfo is more for debugging and for programmers, but could there possibly be an argument like --format simple to instead describe the profile and entrypoints as human-readable names and perhaps in a matrix instead?

For example, The following:

      VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointFEI
      VAProfileH264Main               : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP
      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointFEI
      VAProfileH264High               : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP

could become:

      Profile     Capabilities
      H.264 Main: Decode, Encode, FEI, Low-power Encode
      H.264 High: Decode, Encode, FEI, Low-power Encode

or:

      Profile     Decode  Encode  FEI  Low-power Encode
      H.264 Main: ✓       ✓       ✓    ✓
      H.264 High: ✓       ✓       ✓    ✓
