  now provides in embed code

Bug description:
  In response to FireFox's change in not supporting iframes with a
  http/https protocol that doesn't match the protocol of the parent
  page, YouTube's embed code now lists protocol-relative URLs. These
  start with "//www.youtube.com", no "http://";. This is a standard type
  of relative URL/URI, but our code doesn't support it.

  Since we already store the allowed iframe domains without a protocol
  in front of them, we should also support these protocol-relative URLs.

  To replicate:
  1. Open up a YouTube video on youtube.com
  2. Click "Share" and then "Embed"
  3. Make sure you have NOT ticked the "Use old embed code" box
  4. You should get an iframe embed code, like this: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/NkyEOrQiGMQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  5. Paste this into an external media block or a text block in Mahara

  Expected result: You should be able to view the video once you've saved the block
  Actual result: The block will not display the video
