8e5bd610c9 Remove WCAP
This was the original video recorder completely in software and with a
custom file format. It is no longer useful to keep. It used the old way
of getting screenshots: hooking to weston_output::frame_signal and
calling weston_renderer::read_pixels().  This old way stalled Weston
until the GPU work was complete, and supported only wl_shm buffers.

Nowadays video recording should be arranged with the pipewire-backend
which supports dmabuf delivery.

c12efd0aa7 wcap: Just make wcap-decode dump YUV4MPEG2
Instead of having a custom fork of the vpxenc tool in weston, we can
just dump raw YUV data in the YUV4MPEG2 format and feed that into the
upstream vpxenc.  This also works with theora_encoder and probably many
other encoders.
