Add FORK_NOTES.md describing the new features, a README pointer, and keep
the known-good baseline encoder as contrib/dvd-safe-converter.sh (the
reference the Compatibility profile is modelled on).

When a DVD project does not fit one disc at the chosen quality, offer to
split it into several full-quality discs instead of only degrading the
bitrate:
- A pure, unit-tested planner distributes whole titles across discs and
time-splits a single over-long movie at the chapter boundary nearest each
disc's capacity (even-time fallback when it has no chapters).
- on_create_disc_clicked asks split / reduce-bitrate / cancel, then authors
each disc into its own subfolder and emits name-discN.iso per disc.
- dvdauthor_converter takes per-title segment lengths so a split segment's
chapter markers stay inside the segment.
Also adds the project-level encode-profile selector (with custom-bitrate
fields) next to the disc-size control.

Introduce three project-level DVD encode profiles (Compatibility 4500k /
High quality VBR / Custom) via new config keys, and burn a chosen
embedded subtitle track into the picture:
- file_movie carries the hardsub selection (index/kind), persists it, and
builds a subtitle-picker combobox in its properties page; set_final_rates
maps the profile to the final video/audio bitrate.
- ffmpeg burns text subs with the subtitles= filter after scaling and image
subs with an overlay filtergraph before scaling; NTSC DVD audio is now AC3
for all profiles. A start_offset (-ss) is threaded through for segmenting.
- avconv gets the text-sub path and start_offset for parity.

Add a subtitle branch to the ffprobe/avprobe stream loops that collects
each embedded subtitle track (index, codec, language, title, default/
forced flags) and classifies it as text or image by codec. This is the
basis for letting the user pick a track to burn into the picture.

When opening an old devede project, if the background picture or
music files aren't there, an exception would happen. This can
happen even with the defaults, because in the last version, they
were migrated into a different folder.
Now, if the files aren't found, the new defaults will be used.
