Raw Captions With Time (RCWT) is a format native to ccextractor, a commonly
used open source tool for processing 608/708 Closed Captions (CC) sources.
RCWT can be used to archive the original CC bitstream. The muxer was added
in January 2024. In this commit, add the demuxer.

One can now demux RCWT files for rendering in ccaption_dec or interoperate
with ccextractor (which produces RCWT). Using the muxer/demuxer combination,
the CC bits can be kept for further processing or rendering with either tool.
This can be an effective approach to backup original CC presentations.

Prior to this, the next best solution was FFmpeg's SCC muxer, but SCC itself
is not compatible with ccextractor (which is a de facto OSS CC processing tool)
and it is a proprietary format.

Tests will follow.

Why are you initializing these variables with values that are
immediately overwritten?

Wrong printf-specifier

Also: Pointless logmessage

This will use the position after data, not before the data.

This is already done by av_freep; also: your whole approach has an
unnecessary alloc+memcpy per packet. It would be better if you extended
ff_subtitles_queue_insert() to allow inserting NULL buffers with size
zero and then read the packet via av_get_packet(). This would also avoid
having this cluster_buf pointer which needs to be manually freed on
every error path.

do you need to init these ones?

Looks good to me otherwise.
