player: reduce impact of blocking filters

Some filters may block the playloop for a longer time. For example, if a
decoder fails to decode anything and somehow just discards packets, the
filter graph would run (in a blocking manner) until all packets are
read, which could take a longer time if the demuxer thread is fast
enough.

Make it exit every 100ms. That should at least give the user a chance to
stop playback.

Filtering could run on a different thread, but I don't see much value in
doing that in the general case. It would just waste a thread. Although
being able to use mp_filter_graph_interrupt() would be slightly nicer
than such a timeout mechanism. Decoding in particular can actually use a
separate thread (--vd-queue-enable), but again, this is not enabled by
default, because it just wastes a thread.

Like the previous f_decoder_wrapper commit, this is probably a sin.
