From mwoodrow: bcv is 'basic compositor video', which explicitly disables acceleration using a pref and then runs some video tests. For normal -qr platforms this isn't useful, since the pref would disable WebRender, and it'd be an identical configuation to the non-qr variant. When software webrender is enabled, disabling acceleration won't disable WR, and test remains useful (testing video performance of the software webrender configuration). The baseline I want to compare against here is the non-qr bcv, to see if webrender-software is worse than layers-software. Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D88192
