Make GPU plugin intro information more generic & accurate
- Information on specific HW & virtualization types on which GPU plugin is tested on, belongs to releases notes, not to README intro (where it has already became obsolete) - HW offloading is provided by driver backends, not frontends (e.g. OneVPL is just one of the media driver frontends)
