Bug Description

* Impact
the libcss plugin can't be enable with the current libdvdcss version

* Test case
- install libdvdcss
- start brasero
- go to the plugins dialog, enable the libdvdcss plugin

* Regression potential
none, the plugin was not loading at all and it's only its loader being changed

--------

"I recently updated one of my rigs from 14.04 to 16.04. After upgrading Brasero tells me that it can't find libdvdcss. VLC play an inserted DVD, I see libdvdcss in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux gnu. However, i didn't see it simply in /usr/lib/ so I created a link there. Still didn't work, so I copied an older libdvdcss to /usr/lib. Still no joy.

I checked to see what versions of libdvdcss I had installed - 2.2.0 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux, 2.1.0 in /usr/lib * mv'ed the.2.1.0 to x86_64-linux * rm'ed the sym links to 2.2.0 * new sym link to 2.1.0 * works. "

Could be related to the issue fixed with the patch associated with this pull request (included below)...

I've patched mine and the unpatched version shows the dvdcss plugin disabled (unchecked). With the patch the plugin is checked as enabled.

In any event, I'm able to copy a dvd in Ubuntu 16.04 after applying the patch which, btw, just removes a check for a symbol which is no longer exported from the new version of libdvdcss.so.2
