Support additional video codec and container format

[Sverre Moe]

Some very old issues for this kind of change
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091063
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8091656

One new comment on the latter issue suggesting to add new formats like
"Ogg/{Vorbis,Theora}, flac, matroska (MKV), Opus, VP8, 3GPP, GSM"

This would be great to have on JavaFX. I seriously hope they would add it
for Java 10 at least, or a later Java 9 update.
