Update Paella and improve cursor

[LukasKalbertodt]

Two main visible changes:

• When hovering over Paella buttons or the timeline, a proper pointer cursor is shown, similar to other video players out there. Fixes Player: Improve usability by showing end of timeline and by changing cursor to hand when hovering over clickable regions #707
• The timeline is now hidden for live videos. See Update Paella to improve live streams #1003

I think the first point is clearly an improvement. Regarding the second one I'm not sure: some live streams might allow seeking into the past, which wouldn't be possible anymore with this. I'm really not sure whether that's a concern for institutions out there. So yeah, feedback is welcome @dagraf @oas777 @ziegenberg

Not sure whether that's ex-post overthinking on your behalf or "underthinking" when the issue was opened. Anyway, I think it's an improvement for now. If someone wants this reversed/customized for the scenario you describe, they should come forward.

Paella has a configuration item for hiding/showing the timeline. We should surface that config in Tobira.

My philosophy for Tobira is to not make things configurable unless there is a good reason to do so. This is all in service of complexity management (which I deem very important in software dev) and consistency. If we can't find a consensus here on whether to hide or show it for live stream videos, sure let's add a config. But at least try to find out whether there is a choice that would work for everyone.

Do you have use cases where having the timeline for live events is useful?

Just chiming in here as this is also waiting for David's feedback before we merge this:
I noticed two visual things (that should be fixed on paella's end I believe):
The progress bar is now cut-off on the right side (or rather it's not rounded anymore, like it was before this change):

And I think when the progress bar/timeline is hidden for live events, it would make sense to also hide its background/shrink the control panel accordingly:

Oof, good catch, Paella never ceases to amaze me. I just removed the questionable commit, i.e. the "hide timeline for live" is gone now. I will create a separate issue for that, so that we can move along with the important part of this PR.

Honi soit qui mal y pense.
