fix(previews): a page can no longer pose as a YouTube (etc.) player via its og:url (#326)

The embed fallback used the preview's og:url whatever site was posted.
og:url is set by the page, so evil.example could render as a playable
YouTube card (attacker's video) whose links go to evil.example. Only use
an og:url on the same provider as the posted link, including the
provider's own short-link domains (youtu.be, spotify.link, redd.it, …).
