[video_player] Fix initial frame on macOS (#5781)

As with seeking while paused, initing a video and not playing it should show the first frame as soon as it is available, but it currently doesn't because the display link isn't running. This uses the same mechanism added for seek to ensure that a video reports a frame to the engine (thus populating the initially-blank textture) as soon as one is available after the player is created, even if it's not played.

Fixes flutter/flutter#140782
