#53307: Update libvpx to v1.6.1

libvpx has released a new version:

devel/Vt6c2Z96cWI/aTYeP5y6BwAJ
https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libvpx/+archive/v1.6.1.tar.gz
Although PPC support was removed in v1.5.0, using --target=generic-gnu a
C-only build can be created. Since versions before v1.5.0 didn't have any
optimizations for PPC, it wouldn't represent a performance regression. I
don't know how useful that library would be to people though.
The configure script in macports was massively simplified for the last
update:

ports/blob/master/multimedia/libvpx/files/patch-build-make-
configure.sh.diff
Are the -mmacosx-version-min/max flags no longer useful? We'd be happy to
take that patch upstream if that is the case.
The port warns against support for 10.5:

Is this because of an outdated compiler? Otherwise I'm not aware of any
reason the library would not run on 10.5. Similar to PPC, --target
=generic-gnu could provide a workaround but it would still be very slow.
