Subject: Fix routing loop when fetching remote media

When we proxy a media request to a remote server, add a query-param, which will
tell the remote server to 404 if it doesn't recognise the server_name.

This should fix a routing loop where the server keeps forwarding back to
itself.

Also improves the error handling on remote media fetches, so that we don't
always return a rather obscure 502.
