When the VO was moved it its own thread, responsibility for redrawing
was given to the VO thread itself. So if there was a condition that
indicated that redrawing was required, like expose events or certain
VOCTRLs, the VO thread was redrawing itself.
This worked fine, but there are some corner cases where this works
rather badly. E.g. if I fullscreen the player and hit panscan controls
with mpv's default autorepeat rate, playback stops. This happens because
the VO redraws itself after every panscan change command. Running each
(repeated) command takes so long due to redrawing and (involuntary)
waiting on vsync, that it never leaves the input processing loop while
the key is held down. I suspect that in my case, redrawing in fullscreen
mode just gets slow enough that it takes 2 vsyncs instead of 1 on
average, and the processing time gets larger than the autorepeat delay.
Fix this by taking redraw control from the VO, and instead let the
playloop issue a "real" redraw command to the VO if needed. This
basically reverts redraw handling to what it was before moving the VO to
a thread.
