Web: black bezels in video viewer

[pyorot]

The bug

A change was made in #8757 to close #6191, with a Google-derived like/comment UI control overlapping HTML video player volume/settings/fullscreen controls. Unfortunately, the change simply added a bottom bezel and so shrank the video player, which has made the UI inconsistent with photos, most notably when clicking to play a Live Photo (which then shrinks).

style="height: calc(100% - 64px)" [see original]

The discussion mentions several better ways of handling the problem, most notably shifting the Google controls up on videos, which would be inconsistent with their position on photos, but not annoyingly so. The bezeling change is justified by "This would have different effects on different screen sizes, but most of the time it would be an improvement.", which I think is a dubious claim. The Google controls don't even show up on my client and I don't want or know how to make them do so.

Google Photos itself doesn't even bother lol (which is still preferable to the bezels imo).
