manpage: document --aspect special values

Override movie aspect ratio, in case aspect information is incorrect or
missing in the file being played. See also ``--no-aspect``.
+ Two values have special meaning:
+
+ :0: disable aspect ratio handling, pretend the video has square pixels
+ :-1: use the video stream or container aspect (default)
+
+ But note that handling of these special values might change in the future.

.. admonition:: Examples
- ``--aspect=4:3`` or ``--aspect=1.3333``
