openqa/worker: block ffmpeg-free on aarch64

Browse source 
Encoding with ffmpeg rather than os-autoinst's built-in encoder
gives us less broken videos, but on aarch64 it seems to cause
problems, especially on stg's old, busted worker hosts - I think
it's more CPU-intensive and they just can't handle the load. So,
let's block it.
