Strictly speaking, the TTML spec requires that text backgrounds extend
only to the font height of the related text, rather than to the vertical
distance between lines. The result of this is that there will typically
be vertical gaps between line backgrounds through which moving video can
be seen. Since this was unnacceptable to some content providers, v1.0.1
of the IMSC spec (which profiles TTML) adds a new attribute,
itts:fillLineGap[1], that allows content authors to specify that clients
should extend text backgrounds such that there are no gaps between
lines. This attribute is also going to be included in the next release
of EBU-TT-D.

This patch adds support for fillLineGap to ttmlparse and ttmlrender.
