Added option to core to output http error codes for this with: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/236076

Now added an option to convert subtitles in this patch

I noticed that the SRT for Folgers clip is rather esoteric and failing in conversion. Also already found two bugs in the VTT conversion of captioning/captioning, but when it works. it's easy peasy.

Recovering this and taking over

I'm cleaning this one up, since videojs really wants webvtt it's a requirement for switching to get things set up cleaner. Also needed for cross-site InstantCommons usage.
