Description

### Impacted plugin

Social

### What

In the post editor settings, when selecting "Choose Media", add support to select VideoPress for attached media.

### How

Right now, Attached Media doesn't support VideoPress files. It's not ideal if users have to upload the video to their site as it'll create duplicates in the Media Library.

Research direction

Start by locating Jetpack Social’s post editor settings and the “Choose Media” handling, then trace how attached media is selected and how VideoPress files are represented. Done means users can select VideoPress media without uploading a duplicate to the site’s Media Library; verify the behavior in the post editor and Social sharing flow.
