Hello. I would like the ability to configure the user-agent used in link preview requests, with an option like: url_preview_user_agent

Why: because currently links to YouTube do not render a link preview on Synapse. This is YouTube's fault. However you can bypass it by pretending to be Facebook, by setting the user-agent to facebookexternalua. Then YouTube link previews will work properly again.

Exposing a configuration will let server admins work around the issue.
