/**
 * Defines the interface for media source plugins.
 *
 * Media sources provide the critical link between media items in Drupal and the
 * actual media itself, which typically exists independently of Drupal. Each
 * media source works with a certain kind of media. For example, local files and
 * YouTube videos can both be catalogued in a similar way as media items, but
 * they need very different handling to actually display them.
 *
 * Each media type needs exactly one source. A single source can be used on many
 * media types.
 *
 * Examples of possible sources are:
 * - File: handles local files,
 * - Image: handles local images,
 * - oEmbed: handles resources that are exposed through the oEmbed standard,
 * - YouTube: handles YouTube videos,
 * - SoundCloud: handles SoundCloud audio,
 * - Instagram: handles Instagram posts,
 * - Twitter: handles tweets,
 * - ...
 *
 * Their responsibilities are:
 * - Defining how media is represented (stored). Media sources are not
 *   responsible for actually storing the media. They only define how it is
 *   represented on a media item (usually using some kind of a field).
 * - Providing thumbnails. Media sources that are responsible for remote
 *   media will generally fetch the image from a third-party API and make
 *   it available for the local usage. Media sources that represent local
 *   media (such as images) will usually use some locally provided image.
 *   Media sources should fall back to a pre-defined default thumbnail if
 *   everything else fails.
 * - Validating a media item before it is saved. The entity constraint system
 *   will be used to ensure the valid structure of the media item.
 *   For example, media sources that represent remote media might check the
 *   URL or other identifier, while sources that represent local files might
 *   check the MIME type of the file.
 * - Providing a default name for a media item. This will save users from
 *   manually entering the name when it can be reliably set automatically.
 *   Media sources for local files will generally use the filename, while media
 *   sources for remote resources might obtain a title attribute through a
 *   third-party API. The name can always be overridden by the user.
 * - Providing metadata specific to the given media type. For example, remote
 *   media sources generally get information available through a
 *   third-party API and make it available to Drupal, while local media sources
 *   can expose things such as EXIF or ID3.
 * - Mapping metadata to the media item. Metadata that a media source exposes
 *   can automatically be mapped to the fields on the media item. Media
 *   sources will be able to define how this is done.
