oEmbed field type returns url, not embed

[jasonbahl]

Description

As a developer querying for a field of the oEmbed type, I expect to get the embed HTML returned so that I can use it in my client application.

Instead, the field is returning the url that was input.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an ACF Field Group that is set to show in GraphQL
2. Add a field of the "oembed" type
3. Edit content that has the field group, and enter an oembed friendly URL, such as a tweet or a youtube video
4. Query for the field in GraphQL
5. Expect: embed HTML

I would expect an HTML payload that could be used by the client application to render the embed:

6. Actual: the url that was entered

With the URL being returned, this means the client application is responsible for making the oAuth requests to get the oAuth response and determine the proper markup to apply. WordPress already does this, so we should let the server handle this and return an already cached/formatted embed.

I have the opposite desire and would really prefer the url (or src of the iframe). I think this was the previous behaviour. I understand that the full iframe code may be needed by some, but if building say a react application or similar you'd probably want to handle the iframe yourself.

Some ACF fields have options to what they return - oEmbed doesn't, but perhaps this could be included in the graphQL options in ACF. Is there an existing way to get the url returned without parsing the returned html (which seems more risky).

@amcc would you mind opening that as a new issue so it doesn't get lost?

I think we can come up with a way to satisfy both options. Like a field argument that lets you choose the return format when querying the field?

Something like: iframeField( formatted: TRUE )
