[Bug 2098413] [NEW] [SRU] Intel Battlemage cards lack hardware encode support

[ Impact ]

The Intel media driver needs a version update to fully support
Battlemage in 24.4.4, and the required gmmlib version is 22.5.5.
Ideally, this will get pulled back to Noble, this version bump should be
backported to oracular before we file an SRU exception for HWE purposes.

[ Test Plan ]

 * Intel performs extensive validation for the media stack internally
before releasing.

 * Canonical's Intel squad performs basic testing on successful media
driver initialization (vainfo) as well as testing hardware encode/decode
on H264, VP9, and AV1 at 1080p and 4K. Intel generations tested: Lunar
Lake, Alder Lake, Tiger Lake

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * Issues can occur if media driver component versions mismatch. In this
case, we should have gmmlib at 22.5.5, libva at 2.22.0, and the media
driver (free and non-free) at 24.4.4 (LP: #2098420).

* If there is any critical bug in the media stack, there could be a
fallback to software encode/decode, which is slower and more resource-
intensive.

[ Other Info ]

This is dependent on the SRU request in LP: #2098420. These changes must
land together to avoid compatibility issues
