Add semi-support for Video/Image objects in ActivityPub (#5848)

* Add semi-support for Video/Image objects in ActivityPub

Video and Image objects will create corresponding status records
with manually crafted text contents (title + URL)

* Extract html-url-finding logic into JsonLdHelper

* Fallback to id when url missing, extract supported object types
