sub: add option to not scale subtitles with window

--sub-scale-by-window=no attempts to keep subs always at the same pixel
size.

The implementation is a bit all over the place, because it compensates
already done scaling by an inverse scale factor, but it will probably do
its job.

Fixes #1424. (The semantics and name of --sub-scale-with-window are
kept, and this adds a new option - the name is confusingly similar, but
it's actually analogue to --osd-scale-by-window.)

 ``--sub-scale-with-window=<yes|no>``
     Make the subtitle font size relative to the window, instead of the video.
     This is useful if you always want the same font size, even if the video
     doesn't covert the window fully, e.g. because screen aspect and window
     aspect mismatch (and the player adds black bars).
 
+    This option is misnamed. The difference to the confusingly similar sounding

+    this scaling.
