#12955: MYST3: Video speeds up after room transition

 When a video is playing as part of a room background, it is paused during
 transitions between room but the sound (correctly, I assume) keeps
 playing. To compensate, the video speeds up briefly after each transition.
 This looks strange to me. It would probably be better if it skipped frames
 instead. Here is a quick-and-dirty experiment to do so:

 ```
 diff --git a/engines/myst3/movie.cpp b/engines/myst3/movie.cpp
 index bb163e82b8..00eee8832e 100644
 --- a/engines/myst3/movie.cpp
 +++ b/engines/myst3/movie.cpp
 @@ -332,7 +332,7 @@ void ScriptedMovie::update() {
                         }
                 }

 -               if (!_scriptDriven && (_bink.needsUpdate() ||
 _isLastFrame)) {
 +               while (!_scriptDriven && (_bink.needsUpdate() ||
 _isLastFrame)) {
                         bool complete = false;

                         if (_isLastFrame) {
 ```

 But for one thing it may not be the best way to do so, and for another I'm
 afraid it would introduce frame skipping where it's not desired. As I
 said, it's just an experiment to see the difference.

 I'm attaching a savegame of the part where I noticed this.
