When
<a href="//youtu.be/WJ88GhJJI3Q?start=4394" data-lity>Link</a>
is fired, var matches in lity.js is filled as

matches[0]: youtu.be/WJ88GhJJI3Q?start=4394
matches[1]: youtu.be
matches[2]: undefined
matches[3]: undefined
matches[4]: WJ88GhJJI3Q
matches[5]: ?start=4394

and then, lity builds a url below which includes %3F as an urlencoded result of ? in matches[5] so that YouTube does not start the movie at 4394.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/WJ88GhJJI3Q?autoplay=1&%3Fstart=4394

So,
var _youtubeRegex = /(youtube(-nocookie)?\.com|youtu\.be)\/(watch\?v=|v\/|u\/|embed\/?)?([\w-]{11})(.*)?/i;
should be
var _youtubeRegex = /(youtube(-nocookie)?\.com|youtu\.be)\/(watch\?v=|v\/|u\/|embed\/?)?([\w-]{11})\?(.*)?/i;
for the expected behavior.

When 
`<a href="//youtu.be/WJ88GhJJI3Q?start=4394" data-lity>Link</a>`
is fired, var matches in lity.js is filled as
```
matche[0]: youtu.be/WJ88GhJJI3Q?start=4394
matche[1]: youtu.be
matche[2]: undefined
matche[3]: undefined
matche[4]: WJ88GhJJI3Q
matche[5]: ?start=4394
```
and then, lity builds a url below which includes `%3F` as an urlencoded result of `?` in `matche[5]` so that YouTube does not start the movie at 4394.
`https://www.youtube.com/embed/WJ88GhJJI3Q?autoplay=1&%3Fstart=4394`

So, 
`var _youtubeRegex = /(youtube(-nocookie)?\.com|youtu\.be)\/(watch\?v=|v\/|u\/|embed\/?)?([\w-]{11})(.*)?/i;`
should be
`var _youtubeRegex = /(youtube(-nocookie)?\.com|youtu\.be)\/(watch\?v=|v\/|u\/|embed\/?)?([\w-]{11})\?(.*)?/i;`
for the expected behavior.

Hi @nekoshippo, I'm interested in merging this into my "vanilla js" fork at https://github.com/naton/lity but unsure how to proceed. Any suggestions? Rebase this to my master there maybe?
