This new filter is slightly sharper, and significantly faster, than mitchell. It also tends to preserve detail better.

(In vo_gpu_next, hermite is implemented efficiently using hardware accelerated bilinear interpolation) See-Also: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libplacebo/-/commit/75b3947b2c07803456483ec6976c037bad91b5dd
