    srt: make the demuxer output SubRip packets. · c27b3816

    The SRT format should never have outputted CODEC_ID_SRT packets in the
    first place: SRT is a subtitle format containing SubRip text markup
    events. The timing information is part of the format, not the codec, and
    thus CODEC_ID_SRT should not exist.
    
    Creating packets with the timing information within the payload only
    leads to problem (such as remuxing with timing alteration not working),
    especially when the SubRip markup is being used in container like
    Matroska in addition to this standalone SRT format.
    
    The main reason the timing line was included in those CODEC_ID_SRT
    packets is likely because it contained extra information (the event
    position) the codec actually needs. This issue is solved by using the
    AV_PKT_DATA_SUBTITLE_POSITION side data type.
