Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Subtitles aligned to the left of the window with a limit on how far they can extend
currently something like:
sub-align-x=left
sub-margin-x=240
sub-justify=left
sub-pos=75
results in subs in the center due to margins applied on both sides
where I'd like them to sit them near left border of the screen

Research direction
Start by tracing how mpv parses subtitle margin options and applies them during subtitle placement. Confirm the current behavior described in the example, then verify that left- and right-side margins can be configured independently and that left-aligned subtitles remain near the left window border.
