[Cin] Testing Appimage with OneVPL and QSV presets on legacy Intel hardware

[Terje J. Hanssen]

After the successful Appimage build with OneVPL for QSV on Alder Lake 
(i7-12700/Arc A750),  the time has come as proof of contest to test if 
it also works on legacy Intel iGPU hardware.

Extracted from the Fixed-function Quick Sync Video format support for 
HEVC one should expect
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding

  * The Skylake microarchitecture implementation adds a full
    fixed-function H.265/HEVC 8-bit 4:2:0 decoding and encoding
    acceleration, hybrid and partial HEVC 10-bit decoding acceleration,

  * The Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake and Comet Lake
    microarchitectures implementation adds full fixed-function
    H.265/HEVC 10-bit 4:2:0 decoding and encoding acceleration,

Conclusion:
-------------------
The above simple tests show that the QSV enabled Appimage with OneVPL 
works also on legacy and other Intel hardware.
