build: make it easier to force FFmpeg upstream

Apparently some people want this. Actually making it compile is still
their problem, though, and I expect that build with FFmpeg upstream will
occasionally be broken (as it is right now). This is because mpv also
relies on API provided by Libav, and if FFmpeg hasn't merged that yet,
it's not our problem - we provide a version of FFmpeg upstream with
those changes merged, and it's called ffmpeg-mpv.

Also adjust the README which still talked about FFmpeg releases.

## Preferred FFmpeg version
Only [ffmpeg-mpv][ffmpeg-mpv] is supported. Upstream FFmpeg can be forced by
passing a certain switch to configure, but compilation or runtime behavior
might be broken at times.
Using the latest FFmpeg release (or FFmpeg git master) is strongly recommended.
Older versions are unsupported, even if the build system still happens to
accept them. The main reason mpv still builds with older FFmpeg versions is to
evade arguing with people (users, distros) who insist on using older FFmpeg
versions for no rational reason.
If you want to use a stable FFmpeg release, use the latest release, which has
most likely the best maintenance out of all stable releases. Older releases
are for distros, and at best receive basic changes, like fixing critical security
issues or build fixes, and at worst are completely abandoned.
_If_ you force upstream FFmpeg, and it doesn't work, please contact upstream
FFmpeg for help, instead of mpv. See
[FFmpeg contact][http://ffmpeg.org/contact.html#MailingLists] how to contact
FFmpeg upstream.
