The static ffmpeg binary fetched from johnvansickle.com was a workaround
from when newer ffmpeg releases broke browsertime's video pipeline. That
compatibility issue is resolved now, and the third-party download has
been failing intermittently and blocking otherwise-green CI runs.

Switching to AnimMouse/setup-ffmpeg matches what windows.yml already
uses (same pinned commit, same ffmpeg 7.1), so all platforms share a
single, maintained source for the ffmpeg binary.
