[FEATURE REQUEST] Engage and Disengage Virtual Timeline #12

@tungs

Description

@tungs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are some situations where I'd like to be able to engage or disengage the virtual timeline.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like there to be a function to call that switches from a virtual timeline to a realtime timeline. Events queued in the virtual timeline should then be transferred over to the realtime timeline and vice versa.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to simulate a realtime timeline by keeping the overwritten functions, but then also using a realtime requestAnimationFrame loop to measure an elapsed time, and use that time with timeweb.goTo.

Additional context
In addition to overwriting a window's and document's time handling functions back and forth, video elements would need to be significantly changed.
