fix: Drop bitrate attributes before content/ad start

contentBitrate, contentRenditionBitrate, adBitrate, and adRenditionBitrate
are now only included in events after the first frame is shown
(CONTENT_START/AD_START). This ensures bitrate values represent actual
playback quality rather than pre-start estimates, aligning behavior with
the JavaScript video-core-js library.
