Restricted extra/addons

gstreamer1.0-vaapi currently deps on the bad plugins, are you all going 
to change that?

For the most part it's worked well over the past couple of years, not 
nearly as efficient as vaapi in mpv but still a decent reduction in cpu use.

(- probably 20 -35% of what totem would use without, similar to what vlc 
does when vlc happens to work.

Though atm it, (totem/gst-vaapi) doesn't seem to work at all in wayland 
session, actually only mpv does sans window deco..
