Description
I'd like to watch things with --video-rotate=270, which works fine, but the subtitles are still in the original orientation. Could something like --subtitle-rotate=270 be added?
If the changes aren't too involved, I can write a patch.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing --video-rotate option and the subtitle rendering path in mpv. Determine where subtitle orientation is applied and how command-line options are defined. Done means a --subtitle-rotate=270 option rotates subtitles consistently with the requested video orientation, with coverage for the new option.
