Bug Description

[Impact]
It is not possible to sign in into Youtube with the current configuration of the webapp contaier. This means for example that a user won't be able to upload a video or get personalized recommendations when using Youtube in webapp mode.

[Test case]
- Start the Youtube webapp with its launcher icon
- Click on 'Signin' in the youtube screen

Expected result:
- the user logs in

Actual result:
- the use is redirected to his default browser and can't authenticate to Youtube from within the webapp

[Regression potential]
The fix is to allow navigating to the https?://accounts.google.*/* domain, which is a configuration shared with other Google webapps.

In other words, the bug is fixed with a known-to-work solution.
