Make media types into plugins

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Now that the plugin infrastructure is getting very strong, there's decreasing reason for us to have media types be their own thing. Why not make them plugins? This will enable a whole bunch of new possibilities: plugins can add views specific to them, etc, etc.

It's possible we may need to add some extra media-type-specific metadata for plugins, but I think this should be possible.

So I think everything works, but I can only test images.

so I was able to get audio and video support on my linux vm, and they seem to be working correctly with this branch.
