Subject: [PATCH] ffplay: remove early frame drop functionality

The current impementation of early frame drops (dropping frames before adding
them to the picture queue) has multiple problems:

Even after gettin A-V sync, the frame droping continues until
VideoState->skip_frames reaches 1, which can take a lot of time causing useless
additional frame drops and bad AV-sync. This issue can be easily triggered with
for example changing the audio stream.

Also video_refresh currenly does not handle early skipped frames in every case,
for example if we skip a frame, then the last frame duration calculation will
compute the duration of the sum of the skipped frame and the duration of the
frame before that, and in compute_target_delay we may multiply this unusually
big delay.
