[FIX #3015] add api resolve media by url

[oivoodoo]

Hi everyone.

As part of this element-hq/element-web#3015 issue I've decided to add resolve_url rest api. I did the same approach with black urls like in the preview rest api.

reopened the pull request with the required changes.

Thank you for your contribution on this; however, I've had a quick look at it, and I think you've put the cart before the horse here.

Remember that matrix is an open specification, and synapse is not the only server which needs to implement Client-Server APIs. Additions to that API need to be discussed before it is sensible to commit support into synapse. https://matrix.org/docs/spec/proposals describes the process for this in some detail. I think we'll need to reach some sort of consensus within the community before we can proceed here.

closing this for now. Let's reopen it once we have an agreement on the API.
