if input start time is not 0 -t is inaccurate doing stream copy,
will record extra duration according to input start time.
it should base on following cases:

input video start time from 60s, duration is 300s,
1. stream copy:
       ffmpeg -ss 40 -t 60 -i in.mp4 -c copy -y out.mp4
   open_input_file() will seek to 100 and set ts_offset to -100,
   process_input() will offset pkt->pts with ts_offset to make it 0,
   so when do_streamcopy() with -t, exits when ist->pts >= recording_time.

2. stream copy with -copyts:
       ffmpeg -ss 40 -t 60 -copyts -i in.mp4 -c copy -y out.mp4
   open_input_file() will seek to 100 and set ts_offset to 0,
   process_input() will keep raw pkt->pts as ts_offset is 0,
   so when do_streamcopy() with -t, exits when
   ist->pts >= (recording_time+f->start_time+f->ctx->start_time).

3. stream copy with -copyts -start_at_zero:
       ffmpeg -ss 40 -t 60 -copyts -start_at_zero -i in.mp4 -c copy -y out.mp4
   open_input_file() will seek to 120 and set ts_offset to -60 as start_to_zero option,
   process_input() will offset pkt->pts with input file start time,
   so when do_streamcopy() with -t, exits when ist->pts >= (recording_time+f->start_time).

0      60     40      60                     360

      start   -ss     -t

This fixes ticket #9141.
