Prompted by an issue reported at StackExchange, patch changes error
message for timecode_rate values below 1.
The user-supplied value for timecode_rate in drawtext is rounded
to nearest integer. So, a supplied value of 0.49 or lower is rounded to
0. This throws a misleading error message which says "Timecode frame
rate must be specified". Changed message to account for values under one.
Also noted supported framerates for drop TC.
Regards,
Gyan
