radeon: bug #1462, predownscale to make HD video work.
Use the overlay scaler's predownscale capability to make videos with large horizontal resolution work if it exceeds the scaler buffer width. Make the scaler buffer width user-configurable since we don't know it for all chips, and using predownscaling may otherwise reduce quality even if it wouldn't be needed. This should fix bug #1462.
