Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

currently when video-zoom >0 you only can move video inside of video boundary and cant move outside it
when video-zoom <0 boundary is player window

so the idea that you can move video outside boundary's like when using video-pan (limited by -1 to 1, or -0.95 to 0.95 so you cant lose it)

Alternative behavior of the wanted feature

Research direction

Start by reading positioning.lua and reproduce the current video-zoom and video-pan behavior in mpv. Trace how the video boundary is calculated and compare the requested movement limits. Done means zoomed video can move beyond its current boundary while remaining recoverable within a bounded range.
