oEmbed support

[elf Pavlik]

nowadays social networking platforms make heavy use of oEmbed for sharing media content in personal activity streams, open platforms like statusNet, diaspora or buddycloud use it as well as big brothers like facebook, tweeter etc.

from xp in diaspora your service should have support for https, please see this issue: ​https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/2342#issuecomment-4525027

It seems to me that this could use the embed code tooling described in #653 to generate the oembed code.

Has there been any changes on this issue since?
We would like to make use of the oembed standard to integrate mediagoblin into our social network.

This would also help to get Mediagoblin content into Diaspora.

Just adding that I too would like to see oEmbed support as well so I can use mediagoblin in conjunction with diaspora*.

I've written a plugin for basic oembed support, code is here ​https://github.com/tofay/mediagoblin-oembed . It's pretty rough and untested, and only support oembed via json, but seems to be working ok... (For an example see ​http://oembed.frdnspnzr.de/ and ​http://media.teamfay.co.uk/u/tom/m/p1060006-jpg/)
