 The file "wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php" includes a function
 "_validate_external_header_video( $validity, $value )". The regex used in
 this function is incomplete, as some urls are invalidated in the
 customizer. What is interesting is that the regex used in "wp-includes/js
 /wp-custom-header.js" (which actually sets the youtube video), is
 different and validates e.g the youtube-nocookie.com URLs, that I think
 more people will need due to GDPR.

 In the javascript file, it actually quotes a stackoverflow regex found at:
 http://stackoverflow.com/a/27728417

 **Proposal:**

 Update the regex in "wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php" (line
 5664) to match the one used in "wp-includes/js/wp-custom-header.js" (line
 379).
