Andre Vasconcelos 13a0d63b3c MM-67372: Improve link preview metadata handling and filtering (#35178)
* MM-67372: Filter SVG images from OpenGraph metadata to prevent DoS

This commit adds server-side filtering of SVG images from OpenGraph
metadata to mitigate a DoS vulnerability where malicious SVG images
in og:image tags can crash Chromium-based browsers and Safari.

Changes:
- Add IsSVGImageURL() helper function in model package to detect SVG URLs
- Filter SVG images in parseOpenGraphMetadata() for regular HTML pages
- Filter SVG images in parseOpenGraphFromOEmbed() for oEmbed responses
- Add defense-in-depth filtering in TruncateOpenGraph() and getImagesForPost()
- Add comprehensive tests for all SVG filtering functionality

SVG detection is based on:
- File extension (.svg, .svgz) - case-insensitive
- MIME type (image/svg+xml)

* MM-67372: Filter SVG images from cache/DB and direct SVG URLs

This commit addresses remaining attack vectors for the SVG DoS vulnerability:

1. Cache/DB filtering: Apply TruncateOpenGraph when returning OpenGraph
   from cache or database to filter stale data that was stored before
   the initial fix was deployed.

2. Direct SVG URLs: Filter PostImage entries with Format="svg" to prevent
   browser crashes when someone posts a direct link to an SVG file.

3. Embed creation: Skip creating image embeds for SVG images and create
   link embeds instead.

4. New SVG detection: Return nil instead of creating PostImage when
   fetching direct SVG URLs to prevent storing them in the database.

These changes ensure that even environments with pre-existing malicious
link metadata will be protected after a server restart.

* MM-67372: Fix test expectation for SVG image handling

* Removed duplicate logic in favor of already implemented FilterSVGImages in model

* Addressing PR comments

* Replacing exact match comparison with prefix check

* Added new test cases for unit tests
