Remove libdvdread support in favor of libdvdnav
stream_dvd.c contained large amounts of ancient, unmaintained code, which has been historically moved to libdvdnav. Basically, it's full of low level parsing of DVD on-disc structures. Kill it for good. Users can use the remaining dvdnav support (which basically operates in non-menu mode). Users have reported that libdvdread sometimes works better, but this is just libdvdnav's problem and not ours.

-.. note:: DVD library choices
-
- mpv uses a different default DVD library than MPlayer. MPlayer
- uses libdvdread by default, and mpv uses libdvdnav by default.
- Both libraries are developed in parallel, but libdvdnav is
- intended to support more sophisticated DVD features such as menus
- and multi-angle playback. mpv uses libdvdnav for files specified
- as either ``dvd://...`` or ``dvdnav://...``. To use libdvdread,
- which will produce behavior more like MPlayer, specify
- ``dvdread://...`` instead. Some users have experienced problems
- when using libdvdnav, in which playback gets stuck in a DVD menu
- stream. These problems are reported to go away when auto-selecting
- the title (``dvd://`` rather than ``dvd://1``) or when using
- libdvdread (e.g. ``dvdread://0``). There are also outstanding bugs
- in libdvdnav with seeking backwards and forwards in a video
- stream. Specify ``dvdread://...`` to fix such problems.
