Disable HDR encoding for AMF versions below 1.4.23

[cgutman]

Description

Some older AMD AMF DLLs seem to crash when attempting to perform HEVC Main10 encoder tests, even if the underlying hardware doesn't support HEVC Main10 encoding at all. Since we probe all encoders on startup, this cause a crash loop.

To avoid this crash, we will specifically check for an AMD AMF version >= 1.4.23 before allowing HDR encoding. This AMF version corresponds to driver version 21.12.1 (almost 2 years old) and is a supported driver for all AMD cards with HEVC Main10 support.

Note: There are drivers from the legacy support branch that have versions newer than 21.12.1 but these all include older AMF versions (1.4.20 for the latest legacy driver version 22.6.1), so this check works as expected to exclude those drivers.

Pre-merge checklist:

• Verify that it resolves crashes for Vega users
