manpage: document accidental feature/bug
Clarify existing semantics for the --start/--end/--length options. De-emphasize the difference between absolute and relative timestamps, since they've not been different by default since mpv 0.14. Document a bug, that also happens to work as a feature: if the option value begins with spaces, the code for checking for relative timestamps is inactive, and they're always considered absolute. The check is done on the first character of the string - so even a negative timestamp will be treated as absolute.) Yes, this is useful in extremely rare situations, such as when you really want send a specific timestamp (even a negative one) to the demuxer.
