Video thumbnails not generated for uploaded videos in Discourse forum

Hi,

This was the case before, but the preloading of video metadata has been disabled in a recent PR.

Preloading just metadata is not always respected by browsers, and
sometimes the whole video will be downloaded. This switches to using a
placeholder image for the video and only loads the video when the play
button is clicked.
