Remove HTTPS for YouTube embed

Sometimes when copy/pasting YouTube URLs for embedding, the URL uses the HTTPS protocol. The embed doesn't work in this case, but it is trivially worked around by changing it to plain HTTP:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrL03milBMA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrL03milBMA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrL03milBMA
Although this is a simple workaround, it is also non-obvious, so it would be better if the forum software could do this for you.

And it would also be better if it was embedding HTML5 videos instead of using Flash

Yeah the YouTube plugin we're using is probably a bit old now, so could do with some updates. I'll see what I can do...

Alright I've modified the youtube BBCode to allow https, and to use the iframe embed (so we get HTML5 video)
