Refactor oEmbed previews (#10814)

Browse source 
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.

1. Checks the database cache by URL and timestamp and returns the result if it
has not expired and was successful (a 2xx return code).
2. Checks if the URL matches an oEmbed pattern. If it does, fetch the oEmbed
response. If this is an image, replace the URL to fetch and continue. If
if it is HTML content, use the HTML as the document and continue.

into a file via the media storage provider and saves the local media
metadata.
