DOCS: move libmpv stub to manpage
And replace the sort-of duplicated explanations. (It's a bit funny to use weblinks to the generated web version of itself instead of proper RST links, but I think I don't care.)

+EMBEDDING INTO OTHER PROGRAMS (LIBMPV)
+======================================
+
+mpv can be embedded into other programs as video/audio playback backend. The
+recommended way to do so is using libmpv. See ``libmpv/client.h`` in the mpv
+source code repository. This provides a C API. Bindings for other languages
+might be available (see wiki).
+
+Since libmpv merely allows access to underlying mechanisms that can control
+mpv, further documentation is spread over a few places:
