Remove WebM support (and deps libvpx and opus)
We've had many issues with WebM support and specifically the libvpx library
over the years, mostly due to its poor integration in Godot's buildsystem,
but without anyone really interested in improving this state.

With the new GDExtensions in Godot 4.0, we intend to move video decoding to
first-party extensions, and this would likely be done using something like
libvlc to expose more codecs.

Removing the `webm` module means we can remove libsimplewebm, libvpx and
opus, which we were only used for that purpose. Both libvpx and opus were
fairly complex pieces of the buildsystem, so this is a nice cleanup.

This also removes the compile-time dependency on `yasm`.

Fixes lots of compilation or non-working WebM issues which will be linked
in the PR.

<description>
Control node for playing video streams using [VideoStream] resources.
Supported video formats are [url=https://www.theora.org/]Ogg Theora[/url] ([code].ogv[/code], [VideoStreamTheora]) and any format exposed via a GDNative plugin using [VideoStreamGDNative].
[b]Note:[/b] Due to a bug, VideoPlayer does not support localization remapping yet.
[b]Warning:[/b] On HTML5, video playback [i]will[/i] perform poorly due to missing architecture-specific assembly optimizations.

<methods>
<method name="get_stream_name" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String" />
<description>
Returns the video stream's name, or [code]"&lt;No Stream&gt;"[/code] if no video stream is assigned.

<method name="get_video_texture" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Texture2D" />

<method name="is_playing" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if the video is playing.
[b]Note:[/b] The video is still considered playing if paused during playback.

</method>
<method name="play">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Starts the video playback from the beginning. If the video is paused, this will not unpause the video.

</method>
<method name="stop">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Stops the video playback and sets the stream position to 0.
[b]Note:[/b] Although the stream position will be set to 0, the first frame of the video stream won't become the current frame.
