Cover Block: Add Option to Control Number of Times a Video Plays

[Gustavo-Hilario]

What

Introduce a feature in the Cover block that allows users to specify the number of times a video should play. This includes an option to play the video only once or X number of times and freeze at a specific frame.

Why

Users currently lack the ability to control video playback within the Cover block, which limits customization options.

Specifically, the agency user on 8291036-zen wants the video to play automatically just once and then freeze on the final frame to serve as a static background. This feature would enhance the flexibility and usability of the Cover block, making it more versatile for various design needs.

How

1. Add a new setting in the Cover block's video options to specify the number of times the video should play.
2. Include an option to play the video only once and freeze at a specific frame.

Thank you for opening this @Gustavo-Hilario.

I searched the Gutenberg repo and found this issue WordPress/gutenberg#38975, would you say it is related?

If not, we will want to open a matching issue in the Gutenberg repo since this should probably be fixed upstream.

Thank you!
