configure: enable Vulkan only if the SPIR-V headers are installed
FFmpeg has had an issue with GLSL compilation libraries since they
were first merged 6 years ago. The libraries don't have a stable ABI,
are very difficult for packagers to compile and integrate, are slow,
not threadsafe, and uncomfortable to use. The decision to switch all
Vulkan code to either compile-time GLSL or SPIR-V assembly was taken
in January, and since then, and included with the release of FFmpeg 8.1,
the progress has been steadily eliminating all remaining runtime GLSL
compilation.
