manpage: some --hwdec corrections
auto-copy selects more modes than the ones listed. It will always be
outdated anyway.
The GLX vaapi backend is never selected anymore, because it sucks.

This selects modes like ``vaapi-copy`` (and so on). If none of these work, hardware decoding is disabled. This mode is always guaranteed to incur no additional loss compared to software decoding, and will allow CPU processing with video filters. The ``vaapi`` mode, if used with ``--vo=gpu``, requires Mesa 11 and most likely works with Intel GPUs only. It also requires the opengl EGL backend - (automatically used if available).
