feat(bluesky): add external embed cards for URL previews
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Adds support for app.bsky.embed.external when posting to Bluesky with URLs but no media attachments. Fetches Open Graph metadata (title, description, thumbnail) and creates rich link preview cards.
How it works: Detects the first URL in posts without media attachments Fetches Open Graph/Twitter Card metadata (title, description, image) Uploads the thumbnail to Bluesky and creates an app.bsky.embed.external embed Falls back gracefully if metadata fetch fails (post still publishes, just without the card)
Why was this change needed?
Because links are not noticeable in BlueSky compared to other posts and do not stand out, degrading the user experience when scheduling posts with BlueSky
