These checks were introduced to prevent exposing ARGB64/RGBA64 in the caps
when running on M1 Pro/Max with macOS <13 because of a bug in VideoToolbox.
Unfortunately, the initial buffer size of 15 is too short when running
in a VM - the CPU brand string there looks like "Apple M1 Pro (Virtual)",
which due to its length causes sysctlbyname to return -1, resulting in
broken formats still showing up in the caps.
