meta-intel: make video acceleration choice dependent on LICENSE_FLAGS
The gst-ffmpeg recipe in oe-core had LICENSE_FLAGS added to make it "commercial", so to avoid build errors the BSPs that use it (via the gst-va-intel VA_FEATURE) should only include it if the user has added "commercial" to LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST when building. This adds a conditional to detect that, along with a NOTE in the README to explain the need for the flag. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@intel.com>
