Various improvements to nuplayer playback

- Drastically cut down the number of times we supply the AudioSink with data
by estimating the time until the sink would run out of data and then scheduling
a refill in advance of that.

- Use a dedicated looper for video decoders since they are currently taking
too long to return from OMX_FillThisBuffer (bug 5325201)

- Revise thread priorities for the OMX dispatcher and software codecs, instead
of running them at ANDROID_PRIORITY_AUDIO, they now only run at
ANDROID_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND

- Since threads created by pthread_create inherit all of the parent threads
attributes including thread priority, briefly reset thread priority to
ANDROID_PRIORITY_FOREGROUND before instantiating OMX components and then
restore it.
