Export ID of YouTube videos

[GromNaN]

Instead of extracting the video ID from the URL, I find it more convenient to have it in the data returned by iframely.

Hello @nleush,

What do you think of this feature ?
It would be very convenient to have the media ID exposed when available.

Any news about that @nleush @iparamonau?

Hey guys @GromNaN @j0k3r

This PR is basically the same as the open issue in three-year-old #75. Our challenge remains the same - if we start doing something for one provider, we'd need to support and maintain it universally across entire network. Plus, explain to people how it should be used - and we have no clear understanding ourselves yet. Perhaps, you could describe your use case a bit?

In any case, id as the name is reserved for the use in the cloud - we'd need to come up with something else. Also, there's now a way to have private plugins (see CUSTOM_PLUGINS_PATH in example config) - perhaps, it'll be simpler to maintain if you simply put the commit in one more private plugin for YT's regexps that returns ID in getMeta: function (youtube_video_gdata)

To ensure unicity of the medias stored in the database, we have a couple of fields "platform" (ex youtube) and "platformId" (ex etDRmrB9Css) with an "unique constraint".

I realize that the " canonical" URL provided by iframely is already an unique identifier that contains both the platform name and the id of the media.
