1. RPI support: add a separate omxplayer build option …

   Modified the build options and source files to enable `omxplayer` for video previews only when the `OMX` option is used.
   Updated the build instructions on RPI accordingly and added some notes about the deprecation of the BRCM GPU drivers in RasPI OS 'Bullseye'.
   
   Previously, the `RPI` build option would be used to add both RPI specific audio settings/VRAM limits AND add `omxplayer` support. However, `omxplayer` does not work with the RPI KMS video driver (`vc4-kms-v3d`) or with a 64bit RPI system, due to the lack of OpenMAX (OMX) API support.
   The new RasPi OS ('bullseye') has made the KMS driver the default [1] and doesn't offer `omxplayer` anymore (considered deprecated [2]).
   
   Splitting the OMX support from the RPI option allows to set some default values for RPI systems without automatically adding the `omxplayer` bits.
