Webm support in Swift is extremely limited--VLCKit looks like the best option, and even that isn't exactly smooth sailing.

If we do end up building this functionality we should probably put it in a standalone package like SDWebImageWebPCoder that other devs can use in their projects.

Alternatively, we can use an embedded WebView, but that's potentially awkward and would have a different control schema. I'm not sure if it's possible to link control state from SwiftUI down into a WebView.
