subtitles: options: enable -ass by default
There are still some problems with -ass. For example some other subtitle options won't work the same way or at all with it enabled, and inserting the video filter for VOs that lack native rendering support won't work with different colorspaces. However I think that the benefit from styling support outweights those disadvantages, and also that the "discoverability" of features is better this way; it will be easier for people who encounter problems to find -noass than for people who see no styling to find out that they could add it with -ass. Enable -ass by default. Also fix other outdated information in the manpage entries for -ass and -fontconfig.
