Patch to add Add FFMPEG_SUFFIX variable to multimedia/vlc port

multimedia/vlc:

Add FFMPEG_SUFFIX variable which when set to XX will cause the multimedia/vlc
port to depend upon multimedia/ffmpegXX. The latest release of vlc at the time
of the bug report (2.2.2) does not successfully build with ffmpeg3. The
FFMPEG_SUFFIX variable is left blank for now (no impact to the current port),
but may be used once multimedia/ffmpeg is updated to the 3.0.x branch if a
newer version of vlc has not yet been released which successfully builds
against ffmpeg3 (a new port multimedia/ffmpeg28 could be created and used to
satisfy vlc dependencies).
