Update controls

Patch just the player's on-screen controls, one focused feature at a time.

The controls group toggles the chrome the viewer sees on the player. Like every group on the video merge-patch, send only the keys you want to change — flipping one toggle is a one-key body.

Turn the seek bar off, nothing else

curl -X PATCH https://api.vturb.com/v1/videos/{id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vt_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "controls": { "seekbar": false } }'

Every other control — and every other feature — is untouched.

The control toggles

Each key is a boolean; true shows the control, false hides it.
