vo_opengl: refactor performance data properties
Instead of having 9 different properties, requiring 18 different VOCTRLs to read them all, they are now exposed as a single property. This is not only cleaner (since they're all together) but also allows querying all 9 of them with only a single VOCTRL (by using mp.get_property_native). (The extra factor of 2 was due to an extra query being needed to get the type, which is now also unnecessary) This makes it much easier to access performance metrics from within a lua script, and also makes it easier to just show a readable, formatted version via show-text.

+``vo-performance``
+ Some video output performance metrics. Not implemented by all VOs. This has
+ a number of sup-properties, of the form ``vo-performance/<metric>-<value>``,
+ all of them in milliseconds.
+
+ ``<metric>`` refers to one of:
+
+ ``upload``
+ Time needed to make the frame available to the GPU (if necessary).
+ ``render``
+ Time needed to perform all necessary video postprocessing and rendering
+ passes (if necessary).
+ ``present``
+ Time needed to present a rendered frame on-screen.

+ When a step is unnecessary or skipped, it will have the value 0.

+ ``<value>`` refers to one of:
+
+ ``last``
+ Last measured value.
+ ``avg``
+ Average over a fixed number of past samples. (The exact timeframe
+ varies, but it should generally be a handful of seconds)
+ ``peak``
+ The peak (highest value) within this averaging range.
