Scanlines for the videos

[wzdev-ci]

This patch adds scanlines for the videos by doubling the vertical texture size and repeating every line with the pixel values reduced by 50%. Proof of concept atm.

Looks good, when I did this, I didn't do your 1/2 (R|G|B) color for the odd scan line, it does make it look better.

However, I also noticed that we would still need two routines for this, since we don't want all the vids to use scanlines (the intel ones).

If the small videos are shown 1:1 they'll just be 25% darker. But what I also noticed, the scanlines make the subtitle text harder to read.

Add an option for scanlines when playing videos.

Shows either no, 50% dimmed or black scanlines. Disabled if the video texture
is too small (needs 2 * video height), or the video is shown so small that the
scanlines can't be noticed.
