Description of the pull request

Similar as #2828
This PR removes the media_kit dependency in the stream_chat_flutter sdk. It's currently only used to play videos on Windows and Linux desktop platforms. For these platforms we used update the docs with a sample how to implement it yourselves as also done in the sample app.

This PR is a lot bigger than #2828 as in v9 we didn't have a clean separation for the video player yet. It will also have a bit more influence on the performance of loading the videos as they are no longer loaded up front, but only when the video player is being shown.
