[video_player] Don't restart when scrubbing to end #4488

Fixes a regression introduced by #3727 where scrubbing a progress
indicator to the end of the video while playing would unexpectedly
restart playback from the start of the video. Restarting is an
intentional behavior under the assumption that play is called for a
deliberate user action to start playback, but in the case of scrubbing
it is a programatic pause/play pair where the decision to call play
again should account for scrubbing to the end.

Fixes flutter/flutter#92658

I was looking at how this is handled in QT Player and it seems they also use the "looping" setting to determine what to do:

  • wasPlaying + scrolledToEnd + looping : jump and pause in FIRST frame of the video.
  • wasPlaying + scrolledToEnd + !looping : pause in last frame. This is the same as !wasPlaying + scrolledToEnd, regardless of value of looping.)

In all cases above, clicking "Play", immediately starts the video from the beginning.

In no case QT restarted when scrubbing to the end.
