2c026e1b6b minor cleanups to ffmpeg build setup
* the "lib: {}" print didn't do anything. It turns out that the pkg-config
  crate emits the necessary metadata for linking automatically. I had the
  wrong format and didn't notice because something else did it correctly.

* gcc::Config is deprecated; the new name is Build.

* and the crate is now called cc, version 1.0.

Stuff found while looking at #11. Still haven't figured that issue out.

857a66f29c use my own ffmpeg crate
This significantly improves safety of the ffmpeg interface. The complex
ABIs aren't accessed directly from Rust. Instead, I have a small C
wrapper which uses the ffmpeg C API and the C headers at compile-time to
determine the proper ABI in the same way any C program using ffmpeg
would, so that the ABI doesn't have to be duplicated in Rust code.
I've tested with ffmpeg 2.x and ffmpeg 3.x; it seems to work properly
with both where before ffmpeg 3.x caused segfaults.

It still depends on ABI compatibility between the compiled and running
versions. C programs need this, too, and normal shared library
versioning practices provide this guarantee. But log both versions on
startup for diagnosing problems with this.

Fixes #7
