Request JSON for oEmbed requests (and ignore XML only providers). (#10759)

This adds the format to the request arguments / URL to
ensure that JSON data is returned (which is all that
Synapse supports).

This also adds additional error checking / filtering to the
configuration file to ignore XML-only providers.
