Add option to force square pixels (setsar=1/1) #140

I had some blurays with weird storage aspect ratio for some reason (they should be 16:9 but it was like 5:4) and I wanted to transcode them through using other-transcode but the result would still be the weird aspect ratio. To fix this, I used the --dry-run option to get the ffmpeg command line and then I added -filter:v setsar=1/1 myself. Would be convenient if other-transcode itself had the option, maybe --sar 1/1 or something.

@lambdan Rather than expanding the API of other-transcode, I think the right way to solve this problem is to adjust the aspect ratio in your original Blu-ray rip from MakeMKV by using mkvpropedit or mkvmerge.
