Subject: [PATCH] cmake: make video backend optional via VIDEO_BACKEND flag

Add VIDEO_BACKEND cmake option (default ON) that controls whether FFmpeg
is required and video playback is compiled in. When OFF, VideoBackend.cpp
is excluded from the build and all video code paths in Background are
gated by HYPRLOCK_HAS_VIDEO, allowing a no-FFmpeg build for packagers
who want to ship without the dependency.
