fix: start video at deep-linked time via #t= media fragment (iOS)

Browse source 
The real iOS issue: it won't load the media until the first tap and ignores JS
currentTime until the element is seekable (populated very late), so every
load/seek hack started playback from 0. A #t=<seconds> media fragment on the
src is honoured by the media loader during the tap-triggered load itself, so it
starts at the right frame (and renders that frame instead of black). Bake the
deep-linked playhead into the src fragment, cached per clip so live playhead
changes don't reload the element; currentTime still drives in-session seeks.
