vout/iOS: change run loop mode to kCFRunLoopCommonMode

This updates the video rendering loop in VLCOpenGLES2VideoView to use
kCFRunLoopCommonMode instead of kCFRunLoopDefaultMode.

Using CADisplayLink with the default run loop mode causes frame updates
to pause during common UI interactions, such as pulling down the
control center. This results in frozen video even though audio
continues normally.

Using kCFRunLoopCommonMode ensures frame updates even when the player
is not in focus. This matches the behavior used by Apple in AVPlayer.
