Calls to dlopen() with non-absolute and non-relative paths (i.e.: just
the module name) on systems with Windows 7 which do not have the
security update KB2533623 (and systems older than Windows 7) will not
restrict the search path to the executable's directory and the system
directory. They will instead use the default search order.
This will affect avisynth, mfenc, amfenc, vsrc_ddagrab, and
hwcontext_{d3d11va,d3d12va,dxva2,vaapi,vulkan}.
So support remains the same (all will still run), but for the older
systems security will be a bit more relaxed.
