Token support for video URL and video thumbnail image [#1737252]

I would like you to consider adding support for video and video thumbnail image URLs.

I am creating a social video site, and using tokens for Open Graph (metatag) thumbnail image URLs would be really handy.

Open Graph and/or Meta tags would be one great potential usage area, which is not directly part of the Video module itself, but I provided as an example.

Open Graph (metatag)

This is a great idea. Any support for structured metadata info is super helpful.

Are you (or is anybody else) any further on this already?

Here's a first cut. It's horrible, awful code (and tested on 7.x-2.9 not HEAD) but seems to do useful things.

Things it needs:

To be less awful.
Given I stole most of it from token.module, it's probably needlessly general.
I suspect that the player doesn't get output.
Pass the rest of the args to the formatters.
See about including a sub-sub-token for each image style.

I'll try to do a bit more work on this over the weekend.

Previous patch only processed sub-tokens (like [node:field_video:thumbnail:url]) in the presence of their parent (e.g. [node:field_video:thumbnail]). This patch fixes that.
