PATCH 1/1 libvncserver: disable libva support

The libvncclient library (part of libvncserver) has optional support for HW accelerated H264 video playback using libva

However there are currently two problems with it:

1) it only supports libva compiled with X11 support enabled, but it does not verify that is the case, resulting in compile errors.

2) it only supports the libva 1.0.x API, and not newer libva versions, like 1.4.x we include with buildroot.

https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/issues/11

Disabling libva support for now.
