Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-2] Extend `waitUntil` so that it can delay the start of the View Transition (animating phase) (#13013)

> If they absolutely want to wait and only animate the hi-res image, pause the animation and change the play-state when the image loads.

That is the exact thing that I want to prevent here. As mentioned in the [OP](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13013#issue-3548460996):

> The code for `pauseViewTransition` and `resumeViewTransition` relies on [getting all animations associated with the View Transition](https://www.bram.us/2025/01/01/view-transitions-snippets-getting-all-animations-linked-to-a-view-transition/) and then pausing those animations. This is a bit stupid, because one of the reasons we added `ViewTransition.waitUntil()` was so that authors would no longer need to extract and pause all the VT animations. So essentially, we are requiring them to do the same thing again.
