FFmpeg current release plus git

PPA description

Just a test. This would be one way to allow ffmpeg from current 16.04 & the current release to co-exist.
To that end -
ffmpeg-static is installed to /opt, no changes to source other than a change of 1 message in terminal regarding man pages for ffmpeg(2)
The binaries & manpages are linked to /usr
To use the binaries & or open man pages commands are -
ffmpeg2;ffprobe2;ffplay2;ffserver2; man ffmpeg2, ect.

Please note that libvpx is now the 1.7 release. libvpx5 can co-exist with the repo's libvpx3 but if using libvpx-dev from here it'll be with the 1.7 version. So keep that in mind..
