Disable broken grilo plugins

Description:

The following three grilo plugins are broken, cause Totem and other clients to crash, and were already removed in upstream:

  • appletrailers
  • euronews
  • raitv

Upstream is sadly not much active anymore and there is no plan to release a new grilo-plugins version in the near future.

The broken plugins are already disabled downstream in multiple distributions including Debian (Ubuntu) and Fedora.

Please, consider disabling them in the Arch package as well.

Thanks!
