vf_dlopen: remove this filter

It was an attempt to move some MPlayer filters (which were removed from
mpv) to external, loadable filters. That worked well, but then the
MPlayer filters were ported to libavfilter (independently), so they're
available again. Also there is a more widely supported and more advanced
loadable filter system supported by mpv: vapoursynth.

In conclusion, vf_dlopen is not useful anymore, confusing, and requires
quite a bit of code (and probably wouldn't survive the rewrite of the
mpv video filter chain, which has to come at some point). It has some
implicit dependencies on internal conventions, like possibly the format
names dropped in the previous commit.

We also deprecated it last release. Drop it.
