bug#42607: guix.gnu.org/videos don't play on iOS

Guix,

A sympathetic PotentialUser reported that they were unable to play any of our home-page videos on their iPad. Even Firefox didn't work.

Leo pointed out that we use the VP9 and Opus codecs — both of which are still not supported by Apple[0][1]. Nor is Vorbis.

nginx can easily sniff iOS/Macintosh user agents and serve them an inferior format to match, such as h264 with MP3 audio, which can both be encoded using free software in Guix.

Kind regards,

T G-R
