Optimize YT loading (#5003)

- render some players outside the first viewport (but less than the 3 default viewports, see comment)
- preload the player HTML (this can now be done, because we never preload in prerender where we don't allowed cookied domains like youtube.com)

Unrelated change: Remove long deprecated method in preconnect.js
