When clicking on an URL pointing on a peertube instance or video, propose to open it in the app. (Maybe based on an index of instances ?)

This may be quite difficult as anyone could run a PeerTube node. Each domain would need to be verified and a signed key would need to be added to the app. https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/

We might be able to get the top most popular nodes to provide such a key but it will be hard to manage.

I opened an Issue to determine what should be done to support this. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/1540
