Migrate away from Vlc.DotNet #47

Description

@Boddlnagg

It is no longer maintained.

One option is to replace it with LibVLCSharp. I have a WIP branch at https://github.com/Boddlnagg/WordsLive/tree/libvlcsharp, but it doesn't work yet, and I'm not sure if it can with the current architecture, because apparently for WPF they create a separate window for the VideoView, which might interfere with the windowing in WordsLive.

Another option is to use the video playback capabilities of CefSharp (browsers can play videos after all), but that one doesn't support proprietary codecs (see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/General-Usage#multimedia-audiovideo). So I'm not sure if that would be a blocker (might be okay as long as we still support native WPF/Windows playback).
