File field formatters for rich media display with <video> and <audio> HTML5 elements.

Problem/Motivation

Drupal currently has no support for local audio and video files. That means, you are able to upload such files in file fields, but Drupal has no possibilities to render these files as HTML 5 video or audio elements.

It would also be a great addition to the existing media implementation to support local video and audio files. With that functionality it would be possible to ship media types that support local video and audio handling.

Proposed resolution

The contrib file_entity module ships video and audio formatters since it's start. Move these two formatters in core.

Users are able to select a video or audio formatter on "Manage display" for file fields, if the file extensions of the file field apply to the formatter.
