Description

Implements the video background functionality for cover referred in https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/09/26/an-update-on-gutenberg-tasks/.
Replaces: #10639

This PR renames cover image block into cover and adds video support o cover.
The approach used to rename the block is the same used for the move of core/text to core/paragraph.
A change in api/parser.js. This approach may be seen as a temporary solution until a final approach to this use case exists, and we feel comfortable in exposing an API for this.

Transformations were updated, and a video transform was added.

How has this been tested?

Verify the cover block still works as expected, containing the same functionality the existed in the cover image.
Verify it is possible to set video as background in the cover block.

What other types are there coming from the library, and why should we trust that media.type is valid for this block? Shouldn't we screen for IMAGE and VIDEO?

We set as the allowed media type for the media library video and image so another type being passed would probably be an indicator of a bug in another place. But to be on safe side I added a check that makes sure the type is image or video.

Should have a translators: note reading something like

translators: Fragment of the sentence: "Drag %s, upload a new one or select a file from your library."

Aside: the way we interpolate these sentence fragments in MediaPlaceholder is pretty bad i18n.

As discussed in DM, we'll need a proper way of dealing with this soon, but I'm not convinced it should become a public interface anytime soon.

It's weird that the object shape is different between the MediaLibrary component and the file upload. We should probably normalize one of them. (I think we should use the REST API shape in all cases for now).

This can be done in a separate PR to avoid blocking this though and it has other consequences potentially.

Is this really necessary? I feel at this point, we'd always have a mediaType right?

It would be great if we could support this for videos at some point.

Is there a way to embed a Youtube video into the Cover block?
Or does it just work for ones own hosted videos for the moment?

From https://make.wordpress.org/test/2018/10/19/call-for-testing-gutenberg-4-1-pre-release
2.Add a video background using the Cover block. Try different browsers. (10659)
Here I expected to find the Cover block in the layout Elements, but noticed it in the Common Blocks (Common blocks is a word that really does not say much) As Layout Elements word would actually be most of the blocks used.

First of all I expected to embed a youtube video here.
I first uploaded one video but it was very slow to upload. It seemed like it did not work I then uploaded another video that used a few seconds before it came into place. There was no spinner telling me that it was working. Right now I am seeing the first video uploaded. There is no sound. It would be good with the option to have audio on or off. Clicking the pencil icon I see the media library but not the videos I uploaded. Opening another tab and refreshing the page I see that the videos are in the media library.
