The positioning was completely wrong. First, the coordinates are
expressed in ASS playback resolution (which is by default 384x288).
Secondly, the coordinates define a drawing rectangle, not a moving area.
The previous code was making subtitles move from a random position to
another random position.
Here we rescale assuming the video resolution is a DVD one (720x480). We
can't really do anything better so far, but since this positioning
information is often from a DVD rip we can consider them relatively
safe.
The SRT format should never have outputted CODEC_ID_SRT packets in the
first place: SRT is a subtitle format containing SubRip text markup
events. The timing information is part of the format, not the codec, and
thus CODEC_ID_SRT should not exist.
Creating packets with the timing information within the payload only
leads to problem (such as remuxing with timing alteration not working),
especially when the SubRip markup is being used in container like
Matroska in addition to this standalone SRT format.
The main reason the timing line was included in those CODEC_ID_SRT
packets is likely because it contained extra information (the event
position) the codec actually needs. This issue is solved by using the
AV_PKT_DATA_SUBTITLE_POSITION side data type.
After various discussions, we concluded that, amongst other things,
it made sense to have a separate subrip decoder that did not use
in-band timing information, and rather relied on the ffmpeg level
timing.
As this is 90% the same as the existing srt decoder, it's implemented
in the same file.

Call this new function before decode() to replace the custom and
inconsistant initialization in various decoders.
This function is equivalent to avcodec_get_frame_defaults() for AVFrame.

It is pretty hopeless that other considerable projects will adopt
libavutil alone in other projects. Projects that need small footprint
are better off with more specialized libraries such as gnulib or rather
just copy the necessary parts that they need. With this in mind, nobody
is helped by having libavutil and libavcore split. In order to ease
maintenance inside and around FFmpeg and to reduce confusion where to
put common code, avcore's functionality is merged (back) to avutil.

None of these symbols should be accessed directly, so declare them as
hidden.
