Previously if an autodiscovered oEmbed request failed (e.g. the
oEmbed endpoint is down or does not exist) then the entire URL
preview would fail. Instead we now return everything we can, even
if this additional request fails.
This implements an allow list for content types for which Synapse will attempt URL preview. If a URL resolves to a resource with a content type which isn't in the list, the download will terminate immediately.
This makes sense given that Synapse would never successfully generate a URL preview for such files in the first place, and helps prevent issues with streaming media servers, such as #8302.

* Splits the logic for parsing HTML from the resource handling code.
* Fix a circular import in the oEmbed code (which uses the HTML parsing code).
* Renames some of the HTML parsing methods to:
* Make it clear which methods are "internal" to the module.
* Clarify what the methods do.
* Improved titles (fall back to the author name if there's not title) and include the site name.
* Handle photo/video payloads.
* Include the original URL in the Open Graph response.
* Fix the expiration time (by properly converting from seconds to milliseconds).
The major change is moving the decision of whether to use oEmbed
further up the call-stack. This reverts the _download_url method to
being a "dumb" functionwhich takes a single URL and downloads it
(as it was before #7920).
This also makes more minor refactorings:
* Renames internal variables for clarity.
* Factors out shared code between the HTML and rich oEmbed
previews.
* Fixes tests to preview an oEmbed image.
This adds the format to the request arguments / URL to
ensure that JSON data is returned (which is all that
Synapse supports).
This also adds additional error checking / filtering to the
configuration file to ignore XML-only providers.
Part of #9744
Removes all redundant `# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-` lines from files, as python 3 automatically reads source code as utf-8 now.

remove the stubbing out of `request.process`, so that `requestReceived` also renders the request via the appropriate resource.
Replace render() with a stub for now.
Prevents a SynapseError being raised inside of a IResolutionReceiver and instead opts to just return 0 results. This thus means that we have to lump a failed lookup and a blacklisted lookup together with the same error message, but the substitute should be generic enough to cover both cases.
