YouTube-like URL format

As for old CB, for CBv5 also could configure youtube-like URLs (like https://domain.tld/watch?v=XXXXXXX ). Here is some modifications.

In webserver config (here is sample for Nginx) add some rewrites:

location / {
      if (!-e $request_filename){
          rewrite ^(.*)$ /$1_video.php;
         }
      try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
}

location @rewrite {
      rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php;
}

location /embed {
      rewrite ^/embed?(.*) /player/embed_player.php?$1$query_string;
}

Modify includes/functions_video.php:415

<        $link = BASEURL . '/watch_video.php?v=' . $vdetails['videokey'] . $plist;
>        $link = BASEURL . '/watch?v=' . $vdetails['videokey'] . $plist;

Modify includes/classes/video.class.php:1805

<        $embed_code .= 'src="' . BASEURL . '/player/embed_player.php?vid=' . $vdetails['videokey'];
>        $embed_code .= 'src="' . BASEURL . '/player/embed?vid=' . $vdetails['videokey'];

Optionally also it could add creation date under titles of videos. Need to modify styles/cb_28/layout/watch_video.html:26 - aftrer the line <h1>{display_clean($video.title)}</h1> add line <h4>{date('d.m.Y', strtotime($video.datecreated))}</h4> Proposition: Make the Youtube-like URL-format as option in site configuration.
