ffserver is unmaintained for a very long time now.
It's been discussed about deprecating or even straight up removing it
for a while now.

As a first step to actually get somewhere with that, this patch stops
building ffserver by default, unless it's explicitly requested via
--enable-ffserver.

It's not intended to deprecate ffserver (yet), just a signal to users
that they really want to switch to/use something else, or pick up
maintainership of it.
