Click the "settings" gear icon to populate settings menu

It turns out the settings pop-up menu isn't populated at page load. Now
that I think about it, this makes sense because different videos are
going to have different options available. I think.

We can force the settings menu to load by clicking the gear icon twice,
opening then closing the settings pop-up menu.

Following this, the annotation menu item element will exist and we can
click it to disable annotations. We don't even need the interval any
more.
