Vimeo videos no longer fetch the thumbnail. It seems the http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/ url is now defunct.

We can get the thumbnails via oembed. The example at https://developer.vimeo.com/apis/oembed works. Thumbnails are not returned, however, for private videos, so an we might want to provide defaults for that instance.

Here is patch that fixes the main problem on the Vimeo provider. The second issue, where a thumbnail cannot be grabbed, should be a separate issue, since that deals with code one level up at ProviderPluginBase.php. I imagine we want to do something if there is an exception in ::downloadThumbnail(). Maybe provide our own icon image like the Media module does.

Lets fix the API here and we can discuss the default image in a new issue. This looks good to me.

Can this patch be reverted? The v2 api seems to work fine. The problem with the oEmbed is that thumbnails are very small.
