I reverted https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/2384/ and
https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/2385/ because the patch had a rather
dramatic regression. Each time you saved an existing external content
block, it would add an additional "http://"; to the front of each URL in
it. On the second save, the URLs would be prefaced with
"http://http://";, on the third, "http://http://http://"; and so forth.

Bug description:
  1. The iframe embed code for YouTube videos does not have the protocol
  included anymore thus causing problems when trying to embed the code
  into a site.

  The code reads:
  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XXXXX?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

  YouTube says:

  ''Just using //: instead of http:// or https:// means that you would
  like to use whichever protocol the parent page is using.

  So a page called http://example.com with include http://youtube.com
  and a page called https://example.com with include https://youtube.com

  It's intentional.''

  2. When someone wants to use the YouTube URL from a mobile device, it
  is shortened to youtu.be. However, these videos can't be embedded
  because the filter doesn't understand that URL.
