[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] avcodec/ccaption_dec: honor transparency of leading non-breaking space

[Marth64]

In Closed Captions (US), the non-breaking space (0xA0) can be used to align
text horizontally from the left by using it as a leading character.
However, CC decoder does not ignore it as a leading character like it does
an ordinary space, so a blank padding is rendered over the black CC box.
This is not the intended viewing experience.

Ignore the leading non-breaking spaces, thus creating the intended transparency
which aligns the text. Since all characters are fixed-width in CC, it
can be handled the same way as we currently treat leading ordinary spaces.
Also, as a nit, lowercase the NBSP's hex code in the entry table to match
casing of the other hex codes.

v2 only updates the commit message which mistakenly referenced avformat.
