Non-Standard MicroDVD subtitle formatting support

As reported in: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=39763

Some text only subtitle formats (MicroDVD, Subrip) have got Non-Standard formatting options (bolding, italics, etc...) that many other media players or subtitle filters support. Currently VLC doesn't show any special formatting or hide formatting code with MicroDVD format, Subrip format output also has some issues (underlining looks wrong).
