Display videos embedded in tweets

[glciampaglia]

A lot of blank tweets with t.co links are actually tweets with embedded video. Instead of remove those tweets, we will include a video playback. This is doable in HTML5 without any additional javascript.

See example here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video

To supply the video, we can point directly to the video asset on the Twitter CDN. For this we need to include the media attachments in the tweet: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/data-dictionary/object-model/media

We have decided we will not display tweets with video in the "endless feed" pilot, so we need to:

• Detect that a tweet has video (this info is now in the tweet table)
• In feedGeneration, Add a conditional that checks if tweet has video, then skip it.
• When a tweet with video is skipped, log to the console a message
