Hello,

Right now we have three flags that do pretty much the same thing, via
different libraries:

global[mikmod] Add libmikmod support to allow playing of SoundTracker-style 
music files

global[modplug] Add libmodplug support for playing SoundTracker-style music 
files
media-sound/mixxx[modplug] Add libmodplug support

media-libs/sdl_audiolib[openmpt] OpenMPT decoder via media-libs/libopenmpt
media-plugins/audacious-plugins[openmpt] Add support for OpenMPT
media-sound/mpd[openmpt] OpenMPT decoder plugin
media-sound/fooyin[openmpt] Build the OpenMPT input plugin using 
media-libs/libopenmpt
media-sound/musikcube[libopenmpt] Build plugin to support playing MOD music aka 
tracker music through libopenmpt

Given that they are roughly used in the same way, and only a small
subset of packages (e.g. mpv) support more than one library, how about
settling on a single feature flag instead?  While they probably differ
in fine details like the exact list of supported file formats,
the overlap is wide enough to justify it.

Such as:

mod - Enable support for a variety of tracker module (.it, .mod, .s3m, .xm, and 
more) music files
