modules/video_output/opengl.c: Allow opengl provider override at runtime.(Original patch by Enrique Osuna <enrique.osuna a gmail d com>).

Reverse previous workaround for pthreads lib having GC2 suffix - that

Clean up/Simplify (asprintf/calloc are usefull)
Cosmetics

 (subtitle_Detect("file.sub") returned "file.sub")

Re-enables media library.
Fixes #1047 (nth attempt).
