📄 Description

This pull requests adds support for video files using the HTML5 video tag. This allows viewing videos files directly in the webinterface - essentially the same way PDF files are supported.

Video files are not ideal to be managed using git, but may be stored in repositories as part of a projects documentation. This is the case in a project I am currently working on, and it helps a lot being able to preview these files directly in gitea instead of having to download and to open them in a video player. With video support in most of the current browsers (http://caniuse.com/#search=video) this seems like a helpful feature to be implemented in gitea.

I originally submited this PR to gogs (gogits/gogs#3967), in the discussion there @lunny asked me to also create this pull request to gitea.
