Implement a content type allow list for URL previews (#11936)
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.

Implement an allow list of content types for which we will attempt to preview a URL. This prevents Synapse from making useless longer-lived connections to streaming media servers.
