[packman] mpv _disabled_ (amongst other packages) in pmbs for openSUSE_Leap_42.2

[Tomáš Chvátal]

Simply put we always should rely on the update system of openSUSE.

It works well for all and there is no technical reason for the multimedia
apps to be an exception.

If there are benefits for updating mpv anyone can open a bugreport or
create the update submission.

Benefit of this apporach is that suddenly my multimedia apps won't break
because someone happily updated something.

Cheers

Tom
