Widgets: Query param for `loop` added for non-hosted external videos

Description (last modified by westonruter)

When embedding an external video file into a video widget, the video shortcode is currently failing to render the video due to the erroneous injection of a loop query parameter. The loop parameter was specifically added to work around a Vimeo issue, but the logic was not properly restricted to only effect Vimeo URLs. For more background, see ​https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-develop/pull/232#issuecomment-306861073

Note that the need for the loop parameter will be eliminated once the upgrade to ME.js 4.x is done. See #39686.

In 40977.1.diff​ the logic for adding the vimeo loop query param has been moved to wp_video_shortcode and tests have been added.

YouTube loop bug is still present, hopefully the mejs upgrade lands soon so we can back out this fix entirely.

This diff does fix the issue seen with linking to external mp4 files.

In 40892:

Media: Restrict appending loop parameter to Vimeo URLs specifically and not all external URLs in Video widget (via shortcode).

Fixes issue where Video widgets embedding external files fail to get recognized due to the presence of the loop param after the video filename, even though it has a recognized extension. Regardless, the loop param is only present to fix a Vimeo issue in ME.js 2.x.

Props timmydcrawford.
