Update Information:

Update to 2.36.3: * Support capturing already encoded video streams, which
takes advantage of encoding done in hardware by devices which support this
feature. * Avoid using experimental GStreamer elements for video demuxing. *
Avoid using the legacy GStreamer VA-API decoding plug-ins, which often cause
rendering issues and are not much maintained. Their usage can be re-enabled
setting WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_LEGACY_VAAPI=1 in the environment. * Fix playback of
YouTube streams which use dynamic ad insertion. * Fix display capture with
Pipewire. * Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
