A while ago we had a discussion aboud codec IDs and decided to rename
S_SSA to S_TEXT/SSA (same for the other two) as they do contain text and
not images per se.

(And all text subs have to be converted to UTF-8 anyway. S_TEXT/ASCII is
not to be written anymore - it's only available to provide some
backwards compatibility if someone has already used mkvmerge to produce
such a file.)
