[BUG] Remove Intel iHD drivers from image

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

Bound to this issue (linuxserver/docker-tvheadend#267), submitted here per recommendation of @aptalca
On tvheadend, video glitches are encountered, caused by a faulty outdated iHD driver bundled back in 2021 and not updated since. The vaapi is broken.

The problematic packages are the following:

intel-gmmlib                     22.3.17-r0             apk       
intel-media-driver               23.4.3-r0              apk    

The fix is to mount the host driver using this additional line:

  volumes:
    - /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:/usr/lib/dri

Bundling a driver in an image should also be questioned. If the update is done on a regular basis, that's fine even if drivers inside containers should be avoided. The update depends on using a newer base. I understand rebase-ing is not simple and that additional objectives have been set (linuxserver/docker-tvheadend#263).
Removing should be the best resolution, with a documentation update to include the iHD drivers in the volumes, as it has been done to access physical ressources.

Thank you

Expected Behavior

No video glitches should be experienced when multiple streams and handled by the vaapi acceleration with the iHD driver.
The updated version (as of this day) doesn't cause such issues.

Steps To Reproduce

• install openmediavautl + docker + compose extension
• install intel drivers on host : apt install intel-media-va-driver-non-free intel-gpu-tools
• check vainfo recognized the extensions
• run any other load, for instance ffmpeg with vaapi : -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel_output_format vaapi
• experience the stuttering. either the video hangs, has blocks or parts of the screen in green (data missing): docker logs -f tvheadend

Environment

- OS: Debian/OpenMediaVault
- How docker service was installed: Openmediavault docker compose using compose addon
- CPU/iGPU: Intel N97

There is no drivers in the baseimage. Aptalca means the Alpine Linux aports repo, not our baseimage.

A pointer to find the cause of the issue would have helped.
But thanks anyways.
