 When images are uploaded into the media library,
 `wp_read_image_metadata()` will read the images' EXIF data to determine
 the date the image was taken, which is returned in "created_timestamp".
 Other media types (audio and video) do not provide this information, but
 it's still useful metadata (especially on media-heavy sites).

 This information is available through the getID3 library, however where it
 lives varies based on the type of media uploaded. I propose we add a
 "created_timestamp" key to `wp_read_video_metadata()` (and ideally
 `wp_read_audio_metadata()` as well) which parses out a timestamp
 corresponding to when the media was created (as we do with images).
