Fixed Instagram tv URLs are not embeddable

Affected version

2.1.x

is not embeddable while changing /tv/ to /p/ (post type URL)

https://www.instagram.com/p/B54gxBNJE/

can be. Adding support towards their /tv/ URLs which are introduced later can be helpful since they are supported to be embed.

Do you have any explanation as to what a tv URL actually is? What is the difference? Where do they appear on Instagram? The only posts I've ever seen link to the p version of the link.

I can see that tv works, which may be reason enough alone to add it, but it's not clear why it exists.
