Add support for mp4, webm, and ogg #583

Open pianissi opened 1 year ago

For #466, adds support for automatic and on hover playback for videos in gallery view. Also allows playback in main view, which has the side effect of allowing sound from non-video .ogg files. Implementation uses web video elements which replace the image elements used normally. I'm unfamiliar with React or Electron so the implementation may not be optimal.

Caveats:

Sincerely hope that it will be implemented into the main branch sooner or later. With some video support, Allusion would be pretty much feature complete, at least for a user like me.
