Add support for mp4, webm, and ogg
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:
- No thumbnail images
- As a result video preview will always be on the first frame
- On gallery view, automatic playback of many videos lowers performance by a noticeable amount
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.

I resolved the conflicts and merged this pull request on my fork. Thanks @pianissi for your work ❤️ and @Antoine-lb for the merge hints 👍
Also fixed small css errors of this PR (video not cropped on grid-> content.scss:331 & 337)
Should I make an action to propose my changes on this pull-request? I did a rebase on master, and the css fixes are in a commit. This is my first time contributing to open-source. I could also make another pull request. Please tell me what's best.
