Include Opera-ffmpeg-codecs in Opera Flatpak

Project information: Name: Opera Homepage: opera.com License: Proprietary Upstream has been contacted: Hi, With many streaming website, Opera is unable to play video unless a copy of chromium-ffmpeg-codecs is putted in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so (it’s a long time matter with Opera in linux), and unfortunately, the Flatpak version of Opera have this problem too and I guess if it would be possible this fix in the Flatpak (on Arch based distrib, it has been called Opera-ffmp…

NIXOS, similar to Arch offers option (opera.override { proprietaryCodecs = true; }), without this, Opera is pretty much useless as videos won’t play on X (Twitter) and many other platforms.

Consider offering option to include/install opera-ffmpeg-codecs.
