Update README.md, remind about ffmpeg #212

Relevant for Gentoo builds, it needs USE=vaapi or Firefox won't try using vaapi.

Hmm, you don't need ffmpeg to compile this library so putting those instructions there is not correct. It would probably be better as a separate sub-section in the Firefox section.

Ok, that's better. Thanks for the patch.

Only relevant for those building FF from source... official builds have a libmozavcodec.so etc.

For example, on Ubuntu 22.04, the default ffmpeg is compiled without any acceleration, but FF works.
