* Disable DXVA if driver_version equals some_known_buggy_version

This would be particularly useful for the average user (typically non Doom9 members). Those will not update their drivers at a regular basis, or at all for that matter. MPC is the first thing they will blame if things don't work. So making it n00b-proof is alwyas useful.

Yes : D3DADAPTER_IDENTIFIER9 have a DriverVersion field ;-)
