mplayer: make --save-position-on-quit save only on quit
When enabling --save-position-on-quit, playback position stored not only on quit, but in any case playback of a file was stopped. This includes going to the next file with playlist navigation commands. After some discussion on IRC, it turned out that nobody thought this was good behavior. Disable it, and really make it save only on quit. Maybe the option is useless now, as the user could remap the CLOSE_WIN key binding. On the other hand, CLOSE_WIN sounds and _is_ a bit obscure.

``--save-position-on-quit``
Always save the current playback position on quit. When this file is
played again later, the player will seek to the old playback position on

+ start. This does not happen if playback of a file is stopped in any other
+ way than quitting. For example, going to the next file in the playlist
+ will not save the position, and start playback at beginning the next time
+ the file is played.
This behavior is disabled by default, but is always available when quitting
the player with Shift+Q.
