Field formatter with inline settings is missing field formatters from the referenced (media) entity type

I will have a deeper look. This is caused by how the apllicable formatters are loaded. For each formatter "isApplicable()" is called, but both the Vidstack and Video formatter are extending the core "FileMediaFormatterBase". And their implementation of "isApplicable" fails, because the doesn't apply here, because the "FieldFormatterWithInlineSettings" field definition "file_extensions" setting doesn't include the media mime type.

Ok, I found the issue.

Instead of using the actual "real" field defintion of the referenced entity, we create a new one from the given storage definition here.

In the case of the file field, this will lead to "$field_definition->getSetting('file_extensions')" having the default value: "txt", instead of the actual "mp4" value. This in turn, leads to "isApplicable" returning false and the formatter not being displayed.

This should do the trick. Now we are getting the "real" field definition, instead of creating one.

Just did some internal testing and seems to work great! 😁👍
