 YouTube and Vimeo now have iframe embed methods.  I've attached a patch
 that uses those embed methods instead of the outdated Flash embeds.

 The patch also implement the following improvements:

 * "&w=123&h=123" is no longer encoded as "&w=123&h=123" in
 youtube_embed_to_short_code
 * youtube_link uses a preg_replace_callback call instead of the /e flag,
 as designated by the WordPress coding standards
 * youtube_sanitize_url ensures that there is only one question mark, at
 the beginning of the query string. (Previously, a URL like
 http://youtube.com/v/12345?a=b would have been converted to
 http://youtube.com/?v=12345?a=b, causing several other functions to
 manually fix the results of youtube_sanitize_url)
 * Added support for youtu.be URLs in wpcom_youtube_embed_crazy_url_init

 If separate patches are more appropriate for these additional changes,
 I'll gladly split them up.
