using custom controls and poster on iphones

[gkatsev]

Loading up the player on iphones will currently display our custom controls and our custom poster element. This is an issue because on some iOS versions, our big play button will not work. It seems like on iOS 8, it might work under some circumstances, but I'm not certain it will work across the board.
The best solution is probably to just hide our poster and controls on iphones.

Also, videoEl.controls is always returning true on iphones, even if I specifically removeAttribute it.

The issue is partly that the tech is supposed to trigger usingnativecontrols for the player to listen to but it gets triggered in the constructor, so, the player will never get the event.

I'm inclined to continue displaying native controls on iPhones by default. We should probably take another pass at custom controls some point soon, though.

@gkatsev did a PR get merged for this?

Yes. This can be closed.
