Prefer mp4 to m3u8 for Video Playback if proxyVideos is off

m3u8 videos only work when the proxy is enabled. Further, this allows
video playback without Javascript.

This is only done when proxying is disabled to avoid excessive memory
usage on the nitter instance that would result from loading longer
videos in a single chunk.
