rhythmbox-mozilla should be suggested not recommended

[Bryan Quigley]

Most other NPAPI plugins have been dropped from the Ubuntu-family default install (totem - ubuntu, gecko-mediaplayer - lubuntu), we should default to not having the rhytmbox-mozilla plugin installed as well.

Reasoning:
* privacy/tracking implications in including plugins [1]
 * NPAPI is being disabled in Chrome/Chromium [2] this does affect this indirectly as "real" iTunes will have to show it is installed another way (or hopefully they could just start using standards..)
 * Plugin support is being deprecated in Firefox and will trigger click-to-play, which AFAICT may make this itunes plugin useless.[3]

Totem also just removed their browser plugins for the above and some technical reasons (the technical reasons don't seem applicable to the itunes plugin though) [3]

(Also proposed upstream to just remove the support entirely, no response yet - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729285)

1) For 15.10+
2) 3.1-1ubuntu3

Still haven't quite got the hang of distributed development, but I believe this should be enough to do this.

If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.
