Don't duplicate links (show_images_inline: false)

[licaon-kter]

Background: The clients I know (converse.js, Conversations) send the Image URL as plaintext and as OOB-data. Usually, they should point at the same destination. But they may not. Therefore the plaintext is rendered as an image and OOB-data is rendered as a link. btw: for other media (audio, video) that's the same, i.e. they are also rendered as media and link.

So do that if you can preview the link/file but if you can't show the preview because of the settings (show_images_inline: false) or because the file is not media (eg. upload an APK/ODS/etc) then there should not be 2 links on screen.

Even for media, ok for security show them if they differ, if not then show the media and users can just right-click download/etc
