player: add --force-render option
mpv has an internal optimization on a couple of platforms where it will not render any frames if the window is minimized or hidden. There's at least once possible use case for wanting to force a render anyway (screensharing with pipeware) so let's just add a simple switch for this that always forces mpv to render. Closes #10846.
