firefox: allow RDD sandbox access to gpu drivers

Browse source 
Firefox uses a sandboxing model that only allows access to paths that
were previously explicitly granted. We can only add granular permissions
to a specific sandbox by patching, because setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH would
affect all of them.

To use hardware decoding via VA-API with Firefox 98.0.2 one needs to
head to `about:config` and enable `media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled`.

Closes: #157061
