Description
The video_tag and video_tag filters are very convenient, but they automatically generate a preview poster <img>, that we can not defer the loading of. This is especially frustrating when autoplay is true, because the image is not even seen by a user. It would be great if its loading could follow the same logic as the image_tag filter

Research direction
Read the existing video_tag and media_tag filter implementations, then compare their poster handling with image_tag's loading behavior. Completion means generated poster output follows the same loading logic, including autoplay cases; check the relevant filter tests if available.
