Installation of libaom

NASM-3 made a change where the help screen now shows different text based on different parameters, instead of displaying all the info upfront. This package depends on all the information being there. Fix how this package gets that information to prevent a configuration failure with only NASM-3 installed:

Prepare libaom by running the following commands:

patch -Np1 -i ../libaom-3.13.1-nasm3-1.patch
cmake -B aom-build -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1       \
      -D ENABLE_DOCS=no            \
      -G Ninja
ninja -C aom-build

This package does not come with a working test suite.

Now Install the package, as the root user:

ninja -C aom-build install
rm -v /usr/lib/libaom.a

Command Explanations

-D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1: This switch builds shared versions of the libraries.

-D ENABLE_DOCS=no: This switch disables building the documentation because it fails due to an incompatibility with the latest version of "doxygen".

-D ENABLE_NASM=yes: Use this switch if you have both yasm-1.3.0 and NASM-3.01 installed and wish to use nasm instead of yasm.
