#10044: MOHAWK: Riven: Excessive delay before cursor appears after movie ends.

 After arriving at Jungle Island in the wood trolley, and it comes to rest,
 there's an excessive delay before the cursor appears, during which no
 sound or action occurs.

 Following a series of commits in April 2015 by clone2727 (who maintained
 Riven & Myst at that time), the length of this delay doubled from 4
 seconds to the current 8 seconds.

 None of these commits are Riven-specific, but do relate to Quicktime,
 Mohawk and Myst, and contain evidence that at least some of these changes
 applied to code shared by Riven at the time (which in turn may have since
 been renamed and/or relocated  by the recent Riven overhaul (PR 966)).

 It's also likely that only the CD version of Riven is affected by this
 issue (see below).

 - Intel Mac compatible Daily Build before commits (for comparing previous
 behaviour): [https://www.dropbox.com/s/wekv3ia3iaeapxs/osx_intel-master-
 latest.tar.xz?dl=1]


 Current Daily Build: 1.10.0git4166-g993b013 (1 August 2017)
 Last known with 4 seconds delay: 1.8.0git2913-gd582c84 (23 March 2015)
 Game Version: English, 5-CD (contains v1.02 patch files), md5:
 71145fdecbd68a0cfc292c2fbddf8e08
 Platform: Intel Mac (OS X 10.6.8, 10.11.6)


 Confusing the issue, tests from dafioram (recent Windows daily build,
 refer #9989 for results) produced significantly shorter delays to mine.

 Nevertheless, a clear trend did emerge. Delays for the original CD & DVD,
 and the DVD version on ScummVM were all closely matched. However, the
 delay for the CD version on ScummVM doubled the others.

 Note that my test is based on previous and current behaviour in ScummVM,
 not a comparison with the original. Lacking an appropriate Windows daily
 build (before the above commits were applied) for testing, it's difficult
 to draw any conclusions from this variation between Mac & Windows builds.
