SnapOtterandGitHub 5dac40d782 docs: detailed per-format tables for all modalities (#339) 
Rewrite the video, audio, document, and file sections of the supported
formats page into per-format tables matching the image section (format,
extensions, codec/engine, notes), plus a dedicated subtitles table.

Also correct output claims to match the code: video output is MP4/MOV
(H.264) and WebM (VP9) with GIF/WebP from dedicated tools; audio output
is MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A. Inputs verified against VIDEO_INPUTS,
AUDIO_INPUTS, DOCUMENT_INPUTS, and FILE_INPUTS.
