avformat/matroskaenc: Pass dispositions through unchanged by default
Up until now, the Matroska muxer did not use the dispositions it is
given as-is; instead it by default overrode the disposition of the first
track of a kind (audio, video, subtitles) if no track of this kind has
the default disposition set. And up until recently, it also enforced
by default that no more than one track of each kind be marked as
default.
The rationale for the former is that there are lots of containers which
lack the concept of default streams, so that it is not uncommon for no
stream to be marked as default at all; the rationale for the latter was
that up until recently, it was dubious whether the Matroska specification
allowed more than one default stream for track type (e.g. mkvmerge
disallowed it). It was this point which led to the implementation of
the above mentioned behaviour inspired by mkvmerge.
Yet the Matroska specifications have changed and now explicitly allow
to set more than one track of each type as default, so that the main
reason of not using the dispositions as-is was rendered moot. Therefore
this commit changes the default to pass the disposition through.
The matroska-mpegts-remux FATE-test has been updated to still use the
old "infer" mode so that it is still covered by FATE; the
matroska-zero-length-block test has also been updated to cover
the infer_no_subs mode. The references for lots of other FATE tests
needed to be updated because of a newly added FlagDefault element with
value zero (whereas a FlagDefault with value 1 needn't be coded at all,
as it coincided with the default value of said element).
