sirrow 953664ff1c expand a preview card for any link, not just YouTube
Bluesky renders no link card of its own. Its PDS never fetches the page
behind a URL, so a post whose record has no app.bsky.embed.external
shows the link as bare text; every client that shows a card builds it
before posting. We only built one for YouTube, so every other link
arrived on bluesky with nothing attached.

preview.go now reads the Open Graph tags of an ordinary page and turns
them into the same card: og:title and og:description, falling back to
the twitter:* tags and then to <title> and meta description, with
og:image fetched as the thumbnail. YouTube keeps its oEmbed path, which
answers with the handful of fields a card needs rather than the megabyte
of markup the watch page is.

Only the head of a page is read, and parsing stops at <body>, since
preview tags belong above it and a truncated page still yields what was
read. Pages are decoded through x/net/html/charset rather than assumed
to be UTF-8, which Japanese pages served as Shift_JIS are not. The
thumbnail is resolved against the URL the body came from, so a relative
og:image survives a redirect. Requests now name the bot in a User-Agent,
which some sites want before serving preview tags at all.

fetch grew a byte limit and now reports the media type and final URL its
body came with, which is what the thumbnail needs to name and resolve
itself.

Checked against go.dev, Japanese Wikipedia and a YouTube video.
