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 Also fix other outdated information in the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.
