amphtml: [amp-video] media queries do not filter poster images
This is bad: poster images ignore the media attribute and are always downloaded.
Example:
<amp-video layout="responsive" width=640 height=480 media="(max-width: 767px)" src="https://ampbyexample.com/video/tokyo.mp4?video=10" poster="https://unsplash.it/640/480?image=10"></amp-video>
<amp-video layout="responsive" width=640 height=480 media="(min-width: 768px)" src="https://ampbyexample.com/video/tokyo.mp4?video=12" poster="https://unsplash.it/1024/768?image=11"></amp-video>
Expected behavior: 1 poster image and 1 video will be downloaded depending on screen width. Actual behavior: 2 poster images and 1 video are downloaded depending on screen width.

Both poster images are downloaded:

Pinging this again. Quick reminder how bad this is: if you load https://www.bmw.com/ this bug results in 180kb of unneeded preview image downloads.
