omxplayer: remove deprecated component

omxplayer is deprecated upstream in favour of VLC and relies on the legacy
OMX/MMAL userland stack. It also depends on libssh and libpcre from meta-oe
while living outside dynamic-layers, which breaks world on 32-bit machines
without meta-oe (yocto-check-layer test_machine_world).

Use rpidistro-ffmpeg or GStreamer with the default vc4 stack instead.
