Bug 293736: multimedia/mpv: Disable YTDLP option by default
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293736



--- Description ---
The www/yt-dlp dependency now requires npm and deno as dependencies (via
www/py-yt-dlp-ejs). This pulls in a bunch of dependencies which are now
necessary to build multimedia/mpv with the default config that were not
necessary previously. This can increase build times significantly. Therefore,
make the YTDLP option opt-in instead.

Disabling the YTDLP option by default is just my personal preference, happy to
hear other opinions on this.
