Allow other formats to be displayed in fusks about fuskr HOT 3 OPEN

@jbolster's recent work has motivated me to look into this again.

It's a few years on and I'd like to revisit it. Standards and compliance has come on leaps and bounds since the backward days of 2011.I'm going to use the video tag to do this.

After 3.0 goes live.

I was looking at https://github.com/ubershmekel/redditp

That project's idea is to pull in images from a subreddit, but it has a few parsers and converters to detect (some) videos and images.

Could be useful for inspiration

The detection logic seems really limited there. For the most part the logic is fairly straight forward. Interrogating the file extension would probably work.

My intention was to make use of the chrome.contextMenus ContextType. Where we currently have a single set of onclick event handlers, we would actually have multiple. For example, see this gist.

That'd be one way of doing it. I'd need to look at the 'link' contextType though as that might present a problem...
