player: handle rebasing start time differently
Most of this is explained in the DOCS additions. This gives us slightly more sanity, because there is less interaction between the various parts. The goal is getting rid of the video_offset entirely. The simplification extends to the user API. In particular, we don't need to fix missing parts in the API, such as the lack for a seek command that seeks relatively to the start time. All these things are now transparent. (If someone really wants to know the real timestamps/start time, new properties would have to be added.)

- add "vsync-ratio" property
+ - add --rebase-start-time option
+ This is a breaking change to start time handling. Instead of making start
+ time handling an aspect of different options and properties (like
+ "time-pos" vs. "playback-time"), make it dependent on the new option. For
+ compatibility, the "time-start" property now always returns 0, so code
+ which attempted to handle rebasing manually will not break.
