Invoke the loadstart handler manually if the tech already triggered the ...

...event. Fixes #1207.

Check if the player already has a currentSrc on load and call the loadstart handler explicitly. This ensures that the first play listener is properly registered before playback begins.

@heff, @seniorflexdeveloper: This deserves some tests but I wanted to open the PR to get some feedback.

This was reported in #1193 also.

I'm trying to understand why this isn't fixed by this line:
https://github.com/videojs/video.js/blob/master/src/js/media/html5.js#L32

I think there's a deeper issue here and I don't think I understand it fully yet. I'm wondering if this would be fixed by making the ready event smarter on the player. Right now the techs just trigger the ready event on the player when they're ready, but it's possible that should only be triggered after:

• the tech is ready
• the player init has finished running
• the player's children have been added
  That may have nothing to do with this specific issue though...

Maybe the event listener still hasn't been added at that point?

@gkatsev, yeah it could simply be that we need to move the event listener attaching before the Component init. Need to set up a reduced test case for this.

Fixed and in master. Please try it out.
