Get actual video frame number and time

[rezgi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe (REQUIRED):
I need to get the ongoing decoded frame number and time in the video in order to assess if it's synced well with other game elements.

Describe the solution you'd like (REQUIRED):
have a getter method that returns the played frame number and time.

Describe alternatives you've considered (REQUIRED):
For now I'm burning the video frame number within the video itself in order to check but I need to access this data for more precise gameplay.

I don't see anything in the API (https://github.com/defold/extension-videoplayer-mpeg/blob/master/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h) to return the frame number. You can get the current time, and perhaps from that make some kind of assumption about frame number (if you know the frame rate)

print(mpeg.get_info().time) -- seconds (number)

Getting the current time is more than enough, converting to framerate won't be a problem. Is that time() getter new or did I miss it? Didn't read it in the api file. Thanks
