Black outline around subtitles

Description
Under MythTV-0.24, when the "solid black background" option is OFF, CC-608 and external subtitles were rendered with a thin black border around them. This enhances caption readability when the recording is on a bright/white scene, without obstructing too much of the recording underneath.
A fix was backported to 0.24-fixes by Mark Kendall as referenced in this thread from the MythTV-users discussion list:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/463566
... however, there was no mention of a specific patch# to confirm if it is still present in 0.25.
This ticket is being created at the recommendation of a developer who has offered to look through the history and incorporate this fix into 0.25-fixes. This ticket will be used for tracking this work.
b674e521028d49193c7d52fa749c556f423cd9f8 is probably the commit being referred to, which extended the black outlines for text (e.g. srt) subtitles to include CEA-608 captions as well.
