Description
There should be a simple HTML page on videos.bentasker.co.uk that embeds the player (with video selection based on the querystring) so that videos can be linked to and not just embedded (for example, embedding in JIRA isn't really doable).

Very, very basic implementation in place, so this link should now work - https://videos.bentasker.co.uk/Player.html?url=2018/03/201803_hls_33_sed_error/hls_33_rec_master.m3u8

Commit Message: VID-8 Player page now supports showing some information about videos

When the page loads, a request will be placed for a file called details.json within the video's directory. If this exists, it's contents will be used to populate the page title and a description section.

Generating the JSON can be done trivially in a JSON shell: 
    	>>> import json
    	>>> s = { 'title' : 'Repaired Generator first run', 'description' : 'First start of a Performance Power generator following replacement of the running capacitor' }
    	>>> json.dumps(s)
    	'{"description": "First start of a Performance Power generator following replacement of the running capacitor", "title": "Repaired Generator first run"}'


The result of this can be viewed at https://videos.bentasker.co.uk/Player.html?url=2018/03/20180327_genny_run/VID_20190327.mp4_master.m3u8

Javascript and CSS have also now been broken out into external files so that the size of the player page itself is minimal (currently 840b)

There's a new attribute added to the JSON - keywords - so the snippet above should now be 
>>> s = { 'title' : 'Gather Speed metrics from Curl', 'description' : 'Example of how to have curl output connection and request speed metrics, from https://snippets.bentasker.co.uk/page-1707191143-Getting-connection-speed-metrics-from-curl-BASH.html', 'keywords': 'curl,speed,statistics,metrics'}
>>> json.dumps(s)
'{"keywords": "curl,speed,statistics,metrics", "description": "Example of how to have curl output connection and request speed metrics, from https://snippets.bentasker.co.uk/page-1707191143-Getting-connection-speed-metrics-from-curl-BASH.html", "title": "Gather Speed metrics from Curl"}'


Although the page is currently quite plain, it is now implemented. There's plenty of scope for improvement in the future, but that can be recorded under new issues. Marking complete.
