Add a note in README explaining how to use this with Chrome #341

| These flags should suffice: `--enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks`. Note that the [direct backend](#direct-backend) must be used. |

I use the following flags - --use-gl=angle --use-angle=vulkan --enable-features=VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecode,UseMultiPlaneFormatForHardwareVideo.

Yes, but using Vulkan is not required (it has nothing to do with acceleration) and UseMultiPlaneFormatForHardwareVideo does nothing since 129 (it is the default).

and AcceleratedVideoDecode?

I believe that is redundant with AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL. I never had that flag enabled.

what about VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks - is it needed? I don't use it and get C in nvidia-smi.

It is required for some devices, and it can do no harm even if it's not needed - so it's better to include

doesn't seem to work for me EDIT: after testing, latest chromium seem to be working, but latest electron doesn't... |
Since Chrome is now widely reported to work, there is no need to pretend that it will not function, as long as we explain that the support is not official.
