Apply url_preview_url_blacklist to oEmbed and pre-cached images (#15601)
There are two situations which were previously not properly checked:

1. If the requested URL was replaced with an oEmbed URL, then the
   oEmbed URL was not checked against url_preview_url_blacklist.
2. Follow-up URLs (either via autodiscovery of oEmbed or to pre-cache
   images) were not checked against url_preview_url_blacklist.
