[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] fftools/opt_common: remove dead code in print_buildconf()

[Marth64 <marth64@proxyid.net>]

I found this code block when looking at this warning thrown in my
compiler (gcc 11.4.0 x86_64-linux-gnu):

```
In function ‘print_buildconf’,
    inlined from ‘show_buildconf’ at fftools/opt_common.c:260:5:
fftools/opt_common.c:226:49: warning: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
  226 |         remove_tilde[sizeof("pkg-config~") - 2] = ' ';
      |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~
fftools/opt_common.c: In function ‘show_buildconf’:
fftools/opt_common.c:214:10: note: at offset [10, 11] into destination object ‘str’ of size 1
  214 |     char str[] = { FFMPEG_CONFIGURATION };
      |          ^~~
```

Upon further inspection, I am convinced that remove_tilde does not serve
a functional purpose. There are no other occurences in the FFmpeg
tree via grep, and we are setting a value in it but never using.
The original code traces back to 69cf626f9c1ba29e66ff62e2b835dcfc3031db8d
and even there, I cannot find a purpose for it.

Remove the variable and it's related loop where the assignment occurs,
which resolves the warning.
