Improve the Set Start from Player action, so that it can move a whole selection of subtitles.

[eltomito]

The anctent Set Start From Player action moves the selected subtitle to the current player position.
But when more than 1 subtitles are selected, it just moves the first one anyway.
This is where this pull request comes to the rescue and saves the day:
It makes this action move all the selected subtitles to the new player position as a block... and then walks off into the sunset.

Hm, I am not sure if it did not make more sense to move the suceeding subtitles by the same amount. Ergo lets say we have subtitles A B and C starting at 0:00:01,000, 0:00:02,000 and 0:00:03,000 respectively. Lets say we have the player at position 0:00:04,000. Set start from player would then set the new starts to 0:00:04,000, 0:00:05,000 and 0:00:06,000 respecitvely.

Why would you want to have many subtitles start at the same time?

The patch does exactly what you say. I guess my explanation wasn't clear. T

Great! This would implement "move subtitles to position" which is now possible with cuting and pasting them but it is slowish (a few seconds of lag).
