add option to reduce all skips by some time #30

Kodi uses the fast seeking technique to only seek across video keyframes. This makes seeking very fast, but also inaccurate. Consequently, it can cause SponsorBlock to also skip across some content when skipping over sponsor spots.

I could not find a way to disable fast seeking, so the next best thing I found is adding an option to reduce skips by couple of seconds at the tail end. This means that, with this option active, SponsorBlock will not skip through entire sponsor segment (user will still see last couple of seconds), but it will also not crop any of the actual content.

I have only added english localization files, I don't speak german so I cannot add german ones unfortunately. I assume this is okay and Kodi will fallback to english whenever german strings are not found?
