Description

#### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Video sitemaps in Jetpack don't work if the video URL is in a custom field. Only works for embeds.

#### Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like the video sitemap to work by using the video URL from a custom field.

#### Describe alternatives you've considered
Using a plug-in other than Jetpack. Yoast provides this, but there's a cost.

#### Additional context

Research direction

Start by locating Jetpack's video sitemap implementation and the existing embed-based URL handling, then inspect how WordPress custom fields are exposed to that code. Confirm the expected custom-field format and define done as generating video sitemap entries when a video URL is stored in a custom field, with coverage for the supported cases.
