As of 3.17 using find_package_handle_standard_args checks that the name
of the FindXXX file and the first argument are the same case.
Some modules used non-standard variables or the old singular variables
instead of plurals. This normalizes variable usage to the new-style.
Some CMakeLists.txt did custom error checking instead of propagating
find_package errors. These were changes to call find_package with
REQUIRED or without QUIET where needed and shortens the custom status
messages. This helps users who want to enable that functionality see
what precisely wasnt found.

Adds the ability to add video playlists via libvlc instead of via the
media source. This is mostly just being added as a secondary option to
the media source to reduce maintenance costs and save time. Currently
libff cannot pause/unpause/seek, and isn't programmed to handle
playlists yet.
If VLC is installed on the computer (with the same architecture) it will
allow video playback via libVLC. In the future, users should be able to
optionally download VLC libraries via the installer as well if they
don't want to necessarily install VLC to get the plugin working.
This plugin performs runtime linking instead of compile-time linking;
compiling VLC is not required, only its headers are required. To
compile, clone the VLC repository and set the VLCPath cmake variable to
point to the VLC repository directory.
