video: do not show decoder framedrops if they're not requested
libavcodec makes it impossible to distinguish dropped frames (requested with AVCodecContext.skip_frame), and cases when the decoder simply does not return a frame by default (such as with VP9, which has invisible reference frames). This confuses users when decoding VP9 video. It's basically a cosmetic issue, so just paint it over by ignoring them if framedropping is disabled.
