#52108: ci: fix generating ffmpeg
Merged
Description of Change
Landing #52059 exposed that we're generating ffmpeg.zip in a clunky way (mixing gn gen and e build) when we should just be using build-tools properly and use e init to set things up how we want them instead of manually poking at stuff.
Validated with a release build: https://github.com/electron/electron/actions/runs/28114374016/job/83267451637?pr=52108
