This PR introduces ffmpeg as a dependency to handle image, instead of std or experimental package to do the encoding. This means Morphos will relay on the ffmpeg installed on the host machine. Since the only way of distribution is a container image, the dependency is already installed on the image. This had a good side and it was that I could add support for AVIF.
I'll work on adding support for HEIF/HEIF, despite there's not support for them from ffmpeg yet. I'll give a libheif a new try, since I use Debian Trixieas a final stage in my container image and libheif on that base image isn't that behind.
