Add recommendation for FORM.MEDI usage
The proposed recommendation is consistent with sample files: * https://gedcom.io/testfiles/gedcom70/maximal70.ged has MEDIA, OTHER, and ELECTRONIC. * FamilySearch/GEDCOM.io#151 adds obje-1.ged with PHOTO and VIDEO, as copied from https://github.com/gedcom7code/test-files/blob/main/7/obje-1.ged Fixes FamilySearch#316 since it addresses the last piece that wasn't already done Signed-off-by: Dave Thaler <dthaler@armidalesoftware.com>
