Followup to #655

A guide on selecting hardware.
Still requires linking from various places.
However since this is going to require extensive feedback from all parties I am creating the PR early on.

I think I have addressed most comments above, please re-review.

After some testing I found Apple Silicon to have at least partial hardware acceleration support for 10bit H264 decoding so I marked them as Decode only.
I also removed ProRes as they are irrelevant for a media server

I have addressed all above comments except the lowpower docs which I can't find.

If you mean the Intel low power docs, they are in here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel

I have linked the low power encoding docs as well. What's remaining is to link this page in all sensible places in the docs.

I think this can stay here for now for the lack of a better place to put it without pouring hours into writing a dedicated apple silicon guide which realistically isn't recommend for hosting JF anyway.
