player: accept compatible later FFmpeg library runtime versions

mpv warned if the FFmpeg runtime library version was not exactly the
same as the build version. This seemed to cause frequent conflicts. At
this point, most mpv code probably adheres to the FFmpeg ABI rules, and
FFmpeg stopped breaking ABI "accidentally". Another source of problems
were mixed FFmpeg/Libav installations, something which nobody does
anymore. It's not "our" job to check and enforce ABI compatibility
either. So I guess this behavior can be removed.

OK, still check for incompatible libraries (according to FFmpeg
versioning rules), i.e. different major versions, or if the build
version is newer than the runtime version. For now.

The comment about ABI problems is still true. In particular, the
bytes_read field mentioned in the removed comment is still accessed, and
is still an ABI violation. Have fun.
