Title: [add] - add orientation info for movies based on ffmpeg hint

This exposes any orientation info ffmpeg gives us now. Its based on the patch from this ticket:

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12231

Credits go to acmay

The ffmpeg side is already fine now that we've bumped ffmpeg version.

For completly closing that ticket we need a way to rotate our video. I already discussed this with some other devs some month ago when this ticket was opened. Goal was a GPU based solution. Thats why i didn't merge that software rotation via ffmpeg filters which where part of the attached patch in that ticket, but only expose the orientation info for now.

So i have to ask the GL gurus now - how do wie rotate that damn thing :)
