Somehow rephrased and simplified.

I noted that -aspect is ignored for input files (maybe it would be
useful for forcing the "read" DAR).

As for the default value, there is the usual confusion due to the fact
that if not specified aspect_ratio is set to the last value set, which
could be the aspect_ratio of the previous input/output file. I prefer
not to document this behavior for now.

I'll push it soon if there are no comments.
