Avoid text deformation and subtitles moving outside the screen in pan-and-scan mode. For this, crop amounts are passed from vo_gl as negative margins sizes. They are used to calculate aspect ratio. They are ignored when calculating subtitle positions, so subtitles will stay on screen most of the time. Based on a patch by Jindrich Makovicka [makovick gmail com].
