 Tumblr sites on custom domains can't be embedded because their domains
 won't match our oEmbed whitelist.

 Thought exercise: we could do a server-side request to the site (after it
 fails to match an oEmbed provider), detect the `application/json+oembed`
 link in the page, and if it includes the tumblr.com oEmbed endpoint then
 allow the URL to be embedded.
