[3.0] chromecast: Disable HEVC for original Chromecast devices

Gautier requested to merge kassoulet/vlc:fix-chromecast-transcode-22504 into 3.0.x

Fixes #22504 (#27671 & #29133 are likely duplicates)

The Chromecast API does not provide a direct way to determine if a device supports HEVC (H.265) decoding. To work around this limitation, we identify the original Chromecast model by its device name ("Chromecast") and disable HEVC streaming for these specific devices.

The model-name is added to the friendly-name as does the bonjour.m code.
