Also build libavif as a shared library. When it is built as a static
library, the dependency library files are combined into a single
archive. But when they are linked as a shared library, the linker is
able to remove unused objects. This yields a modest but not
insignificant file size reduction.

ENABLE_NASM=ON is unnecessary...it forces the use of nasm over yasm if
both are available, but only nasm is installed in the wheel build
environments. And CMAKE_MODULE_PATH was only necessary when we used
pre-built rav1e binaries.
