Upgrade video field to output direct video formats
Description
Currently the video field expects a service provider like youtube, vimeo, etc.. So if you want to link to an mp4 for example it won't display it. This prevents internal video URLs or other external video URLs that are not flash powered by a video provider from working. Implement mediaelement jquery plugin then support such types.

This should be the "Unknown" provider. It should try to parse the URLs extension. If it can't find one then behave as is (object embed). If it can find one and it's supported by mediaelement then output with mediaelement JS.

If unknown is allowed it'll try to parse the URLs extension. If the extension is mp4, webm, ogg, or flv it'll render it as a video using mediaelement jquery plugin. If an extension can't be found or matched it'll fallback to object embed as normally. This allows for internal video URLs, etc.. to play properly now.
