multimedia/x264: fix build on powerpc64*
1. Properly define macros to fix build.
2. Enable VSX on powerpc64le and on powerpc64 if it's available.

multimedia/*x264: Update to 0.165.3223 and transfer maintainership
* Switch to GStreamer's meson branch as it simplifies builds and is
 faster
* Transfer maintainership to multimedia
* Remove DEBUG, GPAC, OPENCL and PGO options
 By switching to Meson we can utilize the framework for debug builds
 GPAC is broken upstream
 OPENCL (lookahead) has very little advantage now that core count for
 CPUs are much higher than a decade ago and with x264's limited
 parallelization. It's also much simplier than x264's other code paths.
 PGO pulls in GCC with no to little benefit
* Add LTO and OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS options
 Available only on aarch64 and amd64, enabled by default

multimedia/libx264: add -znotext to LDFLAGS on i386, for lld
Example error:
/usr/bin/ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_PC32 against
 symbol: gettimeofday in readonly segment; recompile object files
 with -fPIC
This port links some non-PIC code, which fails with lld as it defaults
to disallowing relocations against read-only segments. For i386 we can
just add -znotext unconditionally: for GNU BFD ld it just affirms BFD's
existing default.

- Bump PORTREVISION for dependent ports as the shared library version

Our stdint.h is a symlink to sys/stdint.h so we need to teach x264 the
header guard of the sys/stdint.h file. Otherwise compiling software with the
x264.h header will generate a warning about the mismatch header guard.

multimedia/x264: General overhaul
- Split x264 into two ports: the CLI application (x264), and the library
 (libx264). This will allow x264 to use lavf and friends from ffmpeg for
 decoding and demuxing while preventing a circular dependency between the
 two: x264 can depend on ffmpeg, but ffmpeg will depend on libx264 rather
 than x264.
- Add the LAVF option to the CLI port, making the dependency on ffmpeg
 optional.
- Update to 0.142.2455.
- Amend fixes to local patches so that they can apply to the new upstream
 files.
- Provide the git revision and other version information to the build
 environment, allowing the CLI binary to display this information (like the
 Windows builds).
- Remove unsupported build options (X11_OUTPUT).
- Ensure that the library and CLI ports each have the appropriate options.
- Add notes for future contributors who wish to update the ports.
- Bump PORTREVISION for all dependent ports.
