Automatic profile switching

Description
It would be nice to be able to optionally switch profiles automatically based on the number of channels being played out. This requires a few pieces:
-
Detecting how many channels are actually supported: picking this information from ELD for HDMI would be nice
-
Overriding via settings: since ELD can and (afaik) does lie, we should make this an opt-in feature, and also allow user-provided overrides
-
We can then potentially have policy to switch profiles on a card based on supported channels
(1) and (2) would be generally useful for passthrough as well (detecting what compressed formats are supported by the receiver).
