The VA-API AV1 encoder takes L1T2 and L1T3 now, following WebRTC's reference structure, with temporal ids, an operating point per layer, and a rate control for each layer (without it AMD gives the upper layers next to no bits). A frame it cannot encode falls back to libaom instead of WebRTC switching codecs.

The VA-API AV1 encoder now takes L1T2 and L1T3, with WebRTC's reference
structure and a rate control for each layer, rather than leaving them to
libaom. A frame it cannot encode now falls back to libaom.

Brings in the work upstream added from October 15 to 17: temporal
layers in the VA-API encoders and VP9 spatial layers in the VA-API
decoder (devopvoid#379 to devopvoid#381, devopvoid#383, devopvoid#388); a standalone voice activity
detector, and checks against using a disposed one (devopvoid#394); the removal
of Logging.logThreads (devopvoid#395); upstream's 0.20.0 release and its release
workflow changes (devopvoid#391 to devopvoid#393); and docs (devopvoid#378, devopvoid#382, devopvoid#384 to devopvoid#386,
devopvoid#389, devopvoid#390).

Fork-side adaptations:
- Logging keeps this fork's design, in which thread IDs and timestamps
  come from system properties read at load time. devopvoid#395's thread IDs that
  are always on and its runtime Logging.logTimestamps are left out. Its
  logging test change, which logs at INFO, is taken.
- The common WebRTC patches of devopvoid#394 are applied on every platform, as
  upstream does. The data channels desktop capture patch joins the patch
  list before it is recorded, so the build record covers it too.
- The data channels variant leaves out the standalone voice activity
  detector, and its test carries the media tag.
- The release workflow stays this fork's Gradle one. Upstream's
  Maven-based split into preparation and tag-scoped publication
  (release-publish.yml and the publish action) is left out, and so is
  its release notes link to jrtc.dev, which documents upstream's
  packages.
- The Maven files stay deleted, and the README and the docs' version
  stay this fork's own.
