Description:
mpv 0.34.0 as released has some issues with nvidia's wayland and
egl implementations that make it mostly unusable on all compositors.

These were recently fixed in some small self contained commits, namely
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/79bfcc672343ddbc348e040ad899d61a0bafc050
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/fc94c8c365ebeb038af6052bf4ea0506c1220559

With both of these mpv works with the default settings and does not require
significant configuration workarounds. It would be convenient if arch could
carry these patches until the next release as mpv releases fairly infrequently.

Admittedly this mostly a selfish request as I don't want to install my own patched
package, but it may also assist some users in migrating to wayland more smoothly.

Additional info:
* package version(s) - 0.34.0
* config and/or log files etc. - N/A
* link to upstream bug report, if any - Commits linked above.

Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon
