      QtWebEngine currently disables proprietary codec support for licensing reasons.
      However, an optional build flag to link OpenH264 and system FFmpeg (LGPL-compatible)
      would significantly reduce build time and improve developer experience in multimedia-based applications (e.g. PySide6 projects).

      Proposed solution:
      Add -with-openh264 and -with-system-ffmpeg optional flags.

      Motivation:

      • Reduces build complexity for developers.
      • Enables open-source compliant multimedia playback.
      • Keeps QtWebEngine legally clean.
