To make it consistent with other muxers.
The user can still control the generic flushing behaviour after write_header
(same way as after packets) using the -flush_packets option, the default
typically means to flush unless a non-streamed file output is used.
Therefore this change should have no adverse effect on streaming, even if it is
assumed that the first packet has a clean buffer, so small seekbacks within the
output buffer work even when the IO context is not seekable.

Not requiring this can end up producing hilariously broken files
together with -c:s copy (e.g. a webvtt file containing binary subtitle data).

Based off the srt encoder. The following features are unimplemented:
- fonts, colors, sizes
- alignment and positioning
The rest works well. For example, use ffmpeg to convert subtitles into the .vtt format:
ffmpeg -i input.srt output.vtt
