Bug 1585769 - Create a fresh <video> element for the Picture-in-Picture player window rather than cloning the original element. r=JSON_voorhees

Cloning the original node was needed when we needed the MediaInfo copied over, but
HTMLVideoElement::CloneElementVisually copies it over for us, so we can create a
fresh <video> element. This should also be a much healthier thing to do
security-wise, since we're not cloning strange nodes from the web.
