Youtube Timestamps component for Discourse

Converts timestamps within a post, to timestamp hyperlinks to the post's (otherwise the topic's) associated YouTube video.

Uses extract-timestamp for the heavy lifting.

See it in action here

• https://discuss.bevry.me/t/maps-of-meaning-9/31/2?u=balupton (has things like 5:1, 11:1 that are correctly not timestamped)
• https://discuss.bevry.me/t/maps-of-meaning-8/30/2?u=balupton (has a link to a referenced youtube video inside the notes, hence usage of # my notes for [associated youtube video](...) to make sure correct youtube video is associated)
• https://discuss.bevry.me/t/ep-4-awakening-from-the-meaning-crisis-socrates-and-the-quest-for-wisdom/832/3?u=balupton (standard, associated to topic youtube video)

Requirements

To prevent false positives (when the format of a timestamp is used for something that isn't timestamp related), the following format requirements apply:

• Timestamps must be in a post that contains my notes
• Timestamps must be in the format of timestamp - or timestamp —

If anyone can comment or pull request on how to make these requirements customisable, let me know.

Browser requirements:

• Tested and supported in Safari and Google Chrome
• Firefox is not supported, as it lacks support for named capture groups for regular expressions, which is what the underlying extract-timestamp library depends upon.
