fix: a screen's video no longer flickers and its button stays clickable while a timer redraws the screen

MIST's cutscene screen has a 0.1s timer that changes a variable, and every change rebuilt the whole
screen: the <video> restarted each time and "Skip" was replaced between press and release, so the
click never landed. Videos (Movie(play=...) and the movie channel picture) are now kept per shown
screen and resumed if the browser paused them, and a redraw requested while a pointer is down waits
for its release.
