UPDATE (2013-10-07)

libquvi will always attempt to resolve URL redirections.  This means
that quvi_media_new (for example) will always resolve first and only
then pass the input URL to the media scripts to determine the support.

Problem:

  - g00gle now redirects the embedded media URLs to the API pages

  - This causes libquvi to return the "no support" because the
    destination URL looks nothing like a typical media page URL

Solution:

  - "normalize" (quvi/youtube) the input URL before we try to resolve
    URL redirections

  - "normalize" will convert the embedded media URLs to media page URLs,
    which can then be passed to libquvi/libcurl for URL resolving

Notes:

  - quvi_supports function skips resolving altogether unless online
    check is forced

  - This is the reason "normalize" must still be called in "ident"
    function of the media script, even if we do so here

  local u = Y.normalize(qargs.input_url)

  -- Have libcurl resolve the URL redirections.
  local r = quvi.http.resolve(u)
  if #r.resolved_url ==1 then return u end

  -- Apply any exception rules to the destination URL.
