The ffmpeg submodule held prebuilt libraries for every platform next to the
sources (about 1.5 GB checked out), and nothing uses those any more. Only the
needed sources are copied in, from the submodule's commit, along with every
header and template they include. The path is new, so checking out commits on
either side of this works.
It's also cut down to what PPSSPP uses: the H.264, AAC, MP3, ATRAC3 and ATRAC3+
decoders, the H.264 parser, the demuxers as before, and the FFV1 encoder, AVI
muxer and file protocol for AVI dumping. config.h takes its CONFIG_ values from
FFmpeg 3.0.2's own configure run with just those enabled. The raw H.264 demuxer
stays even though nothing opens raw H.264: probing PSMF data uses it to identify
the video stream's codec, which otherwise comes out as none.
On top of that:
- The files nothing links (configure would build them, but they're never pulled
out of the static library, going by the GCC link map) are left out: mostly
libavutil's crypto and hashing and the alternative DCT/IDCT/FFT versions.
- libswresample isn't built, now that nothing uses it.
- The H.264 decoder only does 8-bit video, which is all the PSP has. The SPS
parser rejects any other bit depth, and the DSP files no longer build their 9-
to 16-bit variants, which the linker kept because the init functions pick one
by bit depth at run time.
That's 160 files to compile instead of 277, and 391 of FFmpeg's vendored, about
5.8 MB. The README in ext/ffmpeg has what was done, the PPSSPP patches in the
copy, how to add a component, and the tradeoffs.

ext/ffmpeg-build/ffmpeg.vcxproj (and UWP/ffmpeg_UWP for UWP) builds the same
sources as CMake, copied from sources.mk by update_vcxproj.py. It's optimized in
Debug too, and without /Zc:inline, since MSVC otherwise keeps references to
disabled components that FFmpeg expects the compiler to drop.
The projects that linked the prebuilt libraries reference it instead, and take
the headers from the source tree.

ext/ffmpeg-build now has a committed config.h in place of the configure checks.
Assembly and arch-specific code are off, as in the --disable-asm builds of the
old prebuilt libraries, so only the platform has to be told apart, with a few
preprocessor checks. The sources are listed once in sources.mk, for every build
system to use, and build one static library. ATRAC3 and ATRAC3+ are enabled to
match the prebuilt libraries, and HAVE_AV_CONFIG_H is now defined, as FFmpeg's
own build does.
CMake builds this unless USE_SYSTEM_FFMPEG or FFMPEG_DIR is set, and no longer
looks for the prebuilt libraries in ffmpeg/. MinGW now builds it too, instead
of falling back to the system's.
