video_output: flush static filters on picture drop

Filters like deinterlacers are using timestamps interpolation to generate intermediate frames, which might not work reliably when the timestamps are not from consecutive frames.

When dropping a decoded picture, we were not notifying those filters and the next frame was arbitrarily further than the one the filter might expect.

Ideally, we would notify which frames has been dropped to the filter, so that it can differentiate a real discontinuity from a drop and can handle its history correctly, but flushing is still better than doing nothing and history is not really well exposed for now anyway.
