chromium shouldn't try to play h264 video if chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is not installed

[Oibaf]

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

How to reproduce:
1) Enable HTML5 youtube mode at http://www.youtube.com/html5
2) Find a video which has HTML5 h264 version but _not_ webm version, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUcUKbCI_Is
3) Chromium should play it using flash. However it tries to play with HTML5 mode, but it doesn't work if chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is not installed (which it isn't by default).

Chromium should declare h264 support only if chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is installed. The same should apply for all other codecs included in chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra but not in the default chromium-codecs-ffmpeg.

Tested with chromium-browser 6.0.472.62~r59676-0ubuntu1 and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg 0.6+svn20100904r58574+58998-0ubuntu1 on maverick.
