SDL_sound Add Opus support

SDL_sound currently supports Vorbis files -- but Xiph (maintainers of Vorbis) have deprecated Vorbis in favor of Opus back in 2013. It would be nice to have Opus support in SDL_sound as well.

As far as I know, @icculus is trying to avoid external library dependencies in SDL_sound-2.0: if you know of an opus decoder that is both mature and also suitably licensed for embedding in SDL_sound - such as those so-called one-header libs, please let us know.

A decoder implementation using libopus would not be accepted/viable?

We are avoiding external dependencies beyond SDL2.

Close this one?

Well, this is still a valid issue. Maybe there will be a single file opus decoder at some day (not necessarly stb_opus), which can be used.

Yeah, leave it open for now, but it's not going to move any time soon.

Can't there be an exception in this case with the option of accepting an external dependency for libopus? The license at least looks alright: https://github.com/xiph/opus/blob/main/COPYING.
