Specify codec for audio files in Ranking criteria

[ZoontS]

Based on https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1574409

The ogg container supports a handful of audio and video codecs. However, osu only supports Vorbis for .ogg files

added the blocked label here for now

because while the change does make sense doing so based on a two year old resolved question with no other prior discussion in the corresponding forum doesn't align with how we do pass ranking criteria changes, refer to https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/en/Ranking_criteria#proposing-changes

it might be correct, but is it necessary to specify? if the game doesn't support the codec the beatmap will simply not work, and i don't think anyone is ranking broken beatmaps

I thought this change falls in the "Changes that do not alter the meaning or intention of the ranking criteria, such as improvements to spelling, grammar, or organisation, may not need a forum proposal." category since it doesn't really change anything apart from explicitly stating what is previously implicit

I think it is necessary to specify that vorbis must be used in .ogg files, either in ranking criteria page or somewhere else. I also came accross this thread which said opus files in .ogg format works fine in stable but not in website or lazer although i haven't tested this myself

Ok my bad for phrasing it like this, i basically just wanted to block this for now so we have an opportunity to

1. figure out if it's supposed to be just Vorbis or any other codecs
2. can retroactively create the thread & announce it to BNs so people are informed that something changed there and they should look at the RC again

posted it in the RC subforum for now : https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1981019?n=1

No worries, thank you for helping

I took the liberty of directly applying the suggestion from the ranking criteria forum thread

Mostly clayton's suggestion on the forums. I think Ogg Vorbis is likely the only unfamiliar name here; MP3 and WAV are easily recognizable. Suggested wording for the sample format rule:

...be uncompressed (.wav) or encoded in Ogg Vorbis (.ogg). MP3 (.mp3) should not be used here as it is inherently delayed.

PR title should be edited.

[ZoontS]

PR title should be edited.

Am I the only one who can edit it? If yes, what should be the new title? And should I commit the suggested change?
Sorry for the many questions, this is my first pull request

This PR is heading toward replacing extension name mentions of audio files with the actual codecs in use, so "Use codec for audio files in Ranking Criteria" would be a good one. Feel free to commit the suggested change too if you don't disagree with it, but that suggested change don't cover the sample format rule and you might have to apply that manually.

Changed .wav to uncompressed WAV (.wav) and edited other mentions of mp3, ogg, and wav
