#68013: mp4v2: Switch to maintained fork, update to 2.1.3

------------------------+--------------------
 We are using an unmaintained fork of mp4v2 with
 [https://github.com/TechSmith/mp4v2/issues/47 known problems]. In that
 issue, it is pointed out that we might switch to
 [https://github.com/enzo1982/mp4v2 this new maintained fork] as other
 distributions have done. This is a good idea. Since this switch will
 decrease the `version` from 4.1.3 to 2.1.3, the `epoch` must once again be
 increased. Before committing any such switch, I recommend to rebuild and
 test any port that uses mp4v2 to verify that it still finds mp4v2 and
 works. Read the [changeset:799e13d755088c872e7cb46b2aff978a907d5260
 /macports-ports commit message] from when we downgraded to version 4.1.3
 for some background.
