system-ffmpeg use flag

Like libdvd, there is options in kodi to use the bundled ffmpeg. The kodi fork allow the use of the system ffmpeg but it doesn't cost a lot to permit the use of the forked version with all options needed by kodi.

ffmpeg is statically linked to kodi so there is no risk of collision with the system installed version.

Thanks for the patch!

Ok, so THIS package can't use 'system-ffmpeg' while other can because it violate the policy of not using bundled libraries but for all the java stuff, it's ok !

Very fun.
