Fix timestamps and strip extraneous whitespace in WebVTT output (#219)

* Use two-digit hours in WebVTT timestamps

Per the WebVTT specification [0]:

> A WebVTT timestamp consists of the following components, in the given
> order:
>
> 1. Optionally (required if hours is non-zero):
>   1. Two or more ASCII digits, representing the hours as a base ten
>      integer.
>   2. A U+003A COLON character (:)

YouTube won’t accept timestamps containing single-digit hours.

* Strip segment text in WebVTT output

We already do this for plain text and SubRip output, so we should do it
for WebVTT too.
