ffmpeg_8{,-headless,-full}: init at 8.0 (#435958)

doc/release-notes/rl-2511.section.md

···
 
 - `lisp-modules` were brought in sync with the [June 2025 Quicklisp release](http://blog.quicklisp.org/2025/07/june-2025-quicklisp-dist-now-available.html).
 
+- `ffmpeg_8`, `ffmpeg_8-headless`, and `ffmpeg_8-full` have been added. The default version of FFmpeg remains ffmpeg_7 for now, though this may change before release.
+
 - `searx` was updated to use `envsubst` instead of `sed` for parsing secrets from environment variables.
   If your previous configuration included a secret reference like `server.secret_key = "@SEARX_SECRET_KEY@"`, you must migrate to the new envsubst syntax: `server.secret_key = "$SEARX_SECRET_KEY"`.
