Add support for VTT or other subtitle formats on ingestion + display
Tator would benefit from utilizing something like VTT for its text overlay capabilities. Currently a relatively static menu is available for overlaying camera numbers or calculated date of time based on filename.

There are a couple of thoughts here:
- Ingestion of VTT files (coupled with conversion of other formats such as substation alpha)
- Display attached VTT files "as-is" bypassing anything particularly fancy
- By able to dynamically calculate VTT files based on user preferences and display those.
- A flexible way to handle this might be utilizing an applet-like approach. A VTTApplet type could be responsible for generating the VTT file supplied to the video player.
