sub: by default, don't render timestamps after video EOF
This fixes a long-standing apparent issue where mpv would display the last frame with no subtitles at EOF. This is caused by sub rendering switching from video timestamps to audio timestamps when the video ends, and audio streams often running past the timestamp of the last video frame. However, authoring tools (most notably Aegisub) don't tend to provide easy ways to add meaningful subtitles after the end of the video, so this is rarely actually useful.
