Apparently, mypy isn't able (yet?) to deal
with variables that are changing their types
at runtime.

Python is wonderful.

The command line checks for command line utilities are done by trying to
access the executables and by throwing an exception when not found. This
lead to:
- The mat2 cmd line --check-dependencies option failing.
- The ffmpeg unit tests failing when ffmpeg isn't installed (even though
  it's an optional dependency).

This patch fixes it.

Invert the keys and values in DEPENDENCIES. It seems more natural to use
the key as a key in check_dependencies(), and the value as the value.
This also help in preparing for reworking the check_dependencies()
helper.

Not all id3 types have a text attribute (such as mutagen.id3.APIC or
mutagen.id3.UFID). This leads to the get_meta helper to crash when
trying to access the text attribute of an object which does not have it.
Fixes it by checking the text attribute is available before accessing
it.

Closes #96

- More tests
- More documentation
- Minor code cleanup

This should improve epub compatibility,
along with other formats as a side-effect

It's not mandatory to actually have a comment inside
comment delimiter, like `/**/`.

This should close #95.

without /etc/ld.so.cache available in the sandbox, tests fail on gentoo with:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6:
    cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This should make easier to get more metadata from
archive-based file formats.

- This commit introduces optional dependencies (namely ffmpeg):
  mat2 will spit a warning when trying to process an .avi file
  if ffmpeg isn't installed.
- Since metadata are obtained via exiftool, this commit
  also refactors a bit our exfitool wrapper.
