Forced Subtitles shouldn't be shown and should be the same as the Audio Track #141

Problem description

Forced Subtitles are usually used to translate Text:

However, if you have a normal subtitle as well (the one that shows Text for everything like dialogues, not just translations from Text in the Video itself) it shows 2 subtitles:

1 Subtitle is Forced German the second one is normal German. 2 Subtitles with the same Language is a bit confusing.

Proposed solution

The forced subtitle should not be shown unless it doesn't have a language and should instead be the same as the Audio track.

If you select a German Audio Track it should show a German Forced Subtitle.

There's no reason for why you should need to manually select the forced subtitle, just use the same language as the selected Audio Track.

Alternatives considered

A toggle in settings for this would be good for those that want to select a Forced subtitle manually.
