Add "Rewind on Resume"

When I pause a video, it’s often because of an interruption that began a couple seconds prior to me hitting the pause button. As a result, I’ve very likely missed the last few seconds of action.

Plex has an answer to this: several of its clients (Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, HTPC, and maybe more I’m not sure) support “Rewind on Resume”. As Plex describe it:

When resuming playback of a paused item, you can choose to have the playback “rewind” and start X number of second prior to the point at which it was paused. This can be helpful in cases where you left the playback paused for an extended period. (Note that this does not impact starting playback via the Resume button on the details page of a media item or starting playback of an in-progress item directly from Continue Watching, for instance.)

This setting defaults to None or you can choose various values between 1 and 30 seconds.

At present, I hit play and then hit skip back 10 sec - but I don’t usually need or want to go back 10 seconds, usually just 3 seconds is enough. It would be great to have similar functionality added to Infuse!
