load_subtitles_from_memory

Parses subtitle text, which opens with a [1] version line. :name starts a section (::name marks it finalized), =speaker 1.5 starts a timed instant, the lines after it are speech, ++ text is a stage direction, and +name parameter begin end adds an event. The sections point into data, which must outlive them. short_name names the source in error messages.
