Introduces a new CMake option, WHISPER_USE_SYSTEM_GGML (default: OFF), allowing users to use a system-installed GGML library instead of building the bundled one. When enabled, CMake attempts to find GGML using find_package(ggml REQUIRED). If GGML is not found, the build fails with an error.
If the option is disabled, the project falls back to using the bundled GGML.
Tested in an MSYS2 environment using GGML from the llama.cpp package as a shared library.
This change improves flexibility for packagers and advanced users who prefer system-wide GGML installations.
