Queue a video

Put a video straight into the media queue, no tip attached - it plays on the overlay through the normal queue like any other request. The URL goes through the same validation as every entry route: platform parsing, playability checks, and the streamer’s banned-videos list. Queued items carry requested_via: "api" and fire the media.created webhook. Requires media:control.
