Change subject: Disable Ogg Theora video transcodes in default config
......................................................................
Disable Ogg Theora video transcodes in default config
With WebM playback enabled via ogv.js, there's less reason to keep
the Ogg Theora video transcodes on Wikimedia or other sites.
Removing them by default in favor of just generating WebM.
This speeds encoding time and saves disk space, at the cost of
the WebM videos requiring more CPU in Safari/IE/Edge with the ogv.js
player shim.
Prep for removing them from Wikimedia due to ongoing tooling issues
with ffmpeg2theora.
Safe to merge after I68f22d7c goes out fully.
Bug: T172445
