Delay before playback begins for long webm files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

QuickTime Player has delay when attempting to open a long webm file.  The only 
user feedback is spinning beach ball (ie no progress info).  Window does not 
open until video is ready to play. 

Steps:
- Install WebMQT.component
- Run QuickTime Player
- File / Open "bunny_QVGA.webm"
- Wait for 3 minutes
- Window opens and is ready to play. 

The file bunny_QVGA.webm has total duration of about 10 minutes, and takes 
about 2 or 3 minutes to open on my MacBook Pro.  (NOTE: This is testing with 
the DEBUG version of the component.)

Fix: The WebM Import Component needs to be redesigned to use idles.

We need to determine whether the delay is caused by the big-bang loading of the 
file, or if it's some other cause.  libwebm provides operations for 
lazy-initialization of the file, so that the delay is almost zero.

Delay was not caused libwebm mkvparser::Segment::Load( ) function. That only 
accounted for 1/2 second delay for a 10 minute file.  

Implemented Idling importer and turned on idle flag in resource file.
