Video-js update to latest stable version 7.20.2 due to a recently introduced bug on 7.7.5 version that was used

Version upgrades

This version

adds support for timestamps on videos through https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/pull/430

Selemium is removed from requirements-dev.txt and docker-compose-dev.yaml, since e2e tests are going to be added through Playwright

This version

• introduces Video Transcoding optimizations - https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/pull/246 thanks to @multiflexi and @slhck
• includes a few more tests, plus many STUB files for tests to be written.
• pin on Django 3.1.12 to fix a security related issue with forms

Upgrade from previous versions:

• Docker setup: get latest images and restart
  docker pull mediacms/mediacms
  docker-compose down && docker-compose up

• Single server installation: remove ffmpeg and install latest version, otherwise transcoding of videos won't work well. MediaCMS now uses latest ffmpeg in all ways of installation

Taken form install.sh, this is what you have to do

apt-get remove -y ffmpeg
wget -q https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
mkdir -p tmp
tar -xf ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz --strip-components 1 -C tmp
cp -v tmp/{ffmpeg,ffprobe,qt-faststart} /usr/local/bin
rm -rf tmp ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
echo "ffmpeg installed to /usr/local/bin"

This release contains:

• added a few Documentation pages, and restructured Readme page
• shutdown migrations container when migrations have completed -https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/pull/228/files
• install more recent ffmpeg - https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/pull/259
• improvements on Dockerized setup, doesn't run all steps from prestart.sh every time migrations service starts but rather when DB is empty, and system is uninitialized - https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/pull/229

This release introduces the frontend code on frontend/ plus a number of fixes (for example better handling of images on front page, add new installation placeholders and more)

This release adds API documentation (through Swagger and drf_yasg), and also improves code and project quality by adding Github review actions and pre-commit (isort/flake8/black) - thanks to @shubhank-saxena

• Improvements on Docker setup
• MediaCMS loads by default on all interfaces/ips (not only the FRONTEND_HOST, as it used to be). The FRONTEND_HOST is only in use for certificate creation through Let's Encrypt, only for the single server installation

Small fix on Docker Compose setup

updated material icons version
re-set variable to False
fix HLS on Docker Compose setup
update Readme

Reverts variable, due to error

Add link to demo on README, set variable LOAD_FROM_CDN = False to load fonts etc from localhost (not CDN)

Docker Compose installation is available, thanks to the work of @swiftugandan !

Minor improvements, as ability to encode video content of < 1 sec - previously this would result in a fail status.
Minor updates on the README documentation
