video: disable PTS sorting fallback by default
It appears PTS sorting was useful only for avi files (and VfW-muxed mkv). Maybe it was historically also important for decoders with broken or non-existent PTS reordering (win32 codecs?). But now that we handle demuxers which outputs DTS only correctly, it just seems dead weight. Disable it by default. The --pts-association-mode option is now forced to always use the decoder's PTS value. You can still enable the old default (auto) or force sorting. But we will probably remove this option entirely at some point. Make demux_mkv export timestamps at DTS when it's in VfW mode. This is needed to get correct timestamps with the new default mode. demux_lavf already does that.
