Research direction

Start by inspecting opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_ffmpeg_hw.hpp around line 760 and cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp around line 2586, then reproduce the headless build against FFmpeg 9.0. Check the relevant FFmpeg API changes and verify that the build completes without the reported AVCodec member errors.
