VLC 3 - media player (Xenial & newer)

Backport of VLC 3.0.15 (and required dependencies) for Xenial & newer.

Note about full screen issues: Various users have experienced bugs with MATE (and other desktop environments) on VLC > 3.0.3 in full screen mode (eg. unusable controls or MATE panel appearing over top of the video). You can try the patched VLC (revert one line of code in one commit) if having such issues: https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/vlc3-mate
