Allow picking a video hosted in liferay from the item selector.

Embedding internal videos inside content does not work because the CKEditor injects a JS Player and the antisammy filters it. We discussed the 3 different approaches to fix this:

1. Disable embedding of internal videos: Ruled out.
2. Embed them as a simple html video element:
   • Pros:
     • Cleanest solution.
   • Cons:
     • We have to modify the existing JS plugins to support this case and to support the other cases (external videos)
     • We cannot embed a video that hasn’t been processed yet (which makes uploading directly from the item selector impossible).
3. Embed them as a simple html video element:
   •  Pros:
     • We don’t need to modify any JS. All the existing code supporting external videos will work.
     • We control the rendering of the video in real time. This means we can display temporary messages while the video is being processed. This enables uploading directly from the item selector because we don’t need to wait for the video to be processed to embed it.
       We can potentially remove the old JS code that inserted the JS player since it is no longer used for this purpose.
   •  Cons:
     • We need to create a separate servlet to render the video tag. We did it and it works.

We went for option 3.
