GifVideoPlayer #28

Add a new component that is like GifPlayer but takes a video prop instead of a gif prop, and uses the still prop as the <video> element's poster attribute, and plays the video on loop, and muted.

Three advantages:

  1. Pausing will pause on the current frame instead of going back to the beginning
  2. Much cheaper bandwidth-wise since gifs are terrible over networks
  3. No need to go through the laborious process of converting a video to a gif, if you already have a video

Also todo: recommend a tool for extracting the first frame from the video
