Rename --no-mirror to --no-playback

This option impacts video and audio _playback_. For example, if we use
V4L2, the device is still "mirrored" (via V4L2), even if playback is
disabled. Therefore, "playback" is more approriate than "mirror".

The initial option --no-display option was renamed to --no-mirror by
commit 6928acdeac, but this has never been
released, so it is ok to rename it one more time.
