Ctrl plus scroll to change playback rate (#1745)

* added the setting to toggle the 'scroll playback rate over video player' on and off. Set the default to off

* • Added Setting to toggle the 'ctrl+scroll for playback rate' feature
• Added the label and tooltip to the en-US local file
• Added the ctrl+scroll functionality to the video player component
• Added the ctrl+click functionality to the video player component
• Modified the existing scroll to change volume funtionality to ignore the event if the ctrl key is pressed

* changed the max playrate to 8 in Player Settings. Changed the available playrate options in the video player component popup menu to go up to 8 in steps of .25

* reverted back to hard coded values for playback rates

* opps, forgot to remove the playbackRates method. It has been removed now.

* fixed (at lesast I think) the hacky way I was overwriding the click handler. Also added a check for event.meteKey for mac users.

* added a check for if the metakey is pressedin the the mosueScrollVlumne method

* made a slight change to the tooltip text. The point of this commit is just to try and get the tests to re-run after I marked the PR as ready for review.

* added 'event.metaKey' back to the 'mouseScrollPlaybackRate' method. Not sure how I ended up leaving it off a few commits ago
