wm4 9b7fb867f7 options: drop --opt:subopt option names
For all suboptions, "flat" options were available by separating the
parent option and the sub option with ":", e.g. "--rawvideo:w=123". Drop
this syntax and use "-" as separator. This means even suboptions are
available as normal options now, e.g. "--rawvideo-w=123". The old syntax
doesn't work anymore.

Note that this is completely separate from actual suboptions. For
example, "-rawvideo w=123:h=123" still works. (Not that this syntax is
worth supporting, but it's needed anyway, for for other things like vf
and vo suboptions.)

As a consequence of this change, we also have to add new "no-" prefixed
options for flag suboptions, so that "--no-input-default-bindings"
works. ("--input-no-default-bindings" also works as a consequence of
allowing "-input no-default-bindings" - they are handled by the same
underlying option.)

For --input, always use the full syntax in the manpage. There exist
suboptions other than --input (like --tv, --rawvideo, etc.), but since
they might be handled differently in the future, don't touch these yet.

M_OPT_PREFIXED becomes the default, so remove it. As a minor unrelated
cleanup, get rid of M_OPT_MERGE too and use the OPT_SUBSTRUCT() macro in
some places.

Unrelated: remove the duplicated --tv:buffersize option, fix a typo in
changes.rst.

mpv
###

Overview
========

**mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide
variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.

If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read
more about the changes_.

Compilation
===========

Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ``./configure --help`` for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
``./configure``. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file ``config.log`` may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.

Essential dependencies (incomplete list):

- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when
  compiling ffmpeg)

Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build_) that first compiles FFmpeg
libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against
those.

If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv_, an up
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
OSX.

Bug reports
===========

Please use the `issues tracker`_ provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or
feature requests.

Contributing
============

For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger
changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will
make code review easier for both parties later on.
