dav1dplay: initial support for --zerocopy

Right now this just allocates a new buffer for every frame, uses it,
then discards it immediately. This is not optimal, either dav1d should
start reusing buffers internally or we need to pool them in dav1dplay.

As it stands, this is not really a performance gain. I'll have to
investigate why, but my suspicion is that seeing any gains might require
reusing buffers somewhere.

Note: Thrashing buffers is not as bad as it seems, initially. Not only
does libplacebo pool and reuse GPU memory and buffer state objects
internally, but this also absolves us from having to do any manual
polling to figure out when the buffer is reusable again. Creating, using
and immediately destroying buffers actually isn't as bad an approach as
it might otherwise seem.

It's entirely possible that this is only bad because of lock contention.
As said, I'll have to investigate further...
