whisper : token-level timestamp refactoring (#49, #120)
This turned out pretty good overall. The algorithm has been moved from
main.cpp to whisper.cpp and can be reused for all subtitles types. This
means that now you can specify the maximum length of the generated
lines. Simply provide the "-ml" argument specifying the max length in
number of characters

main

This is the main example demonstrating most of the functionality of the Whisper model. It can be used as a reference for using the whisper.cpp library in other projects.
