Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/269

Currently the config etc/ArchiveBox.conf.default doesn't have well defined parameters for multimedia content

This requires
#FETCH_MEDIA

to be made less ambiguous because images, flash objects, java objects and videos are all multimedia some maybe desirable while others might not be which would only prolong the archiving operation and decrease disk storage capacity.

FETCH_MEDIA is currently strictly for enabling/disabled youtube-dl, which downloads audio and video, toggling has no effect on flash/images/java/etc. All the FETCH_ config keys are already going to be deprecated in v0.4.5 in favor of more granular settings.
