Currently, the YouTube thumbnail is taken straight from the YouTube URL. This means we can't really have a square thumbnail. But a square thumbnail is useful in various parts of Media module and Media Gallery module. Attached patch integrates the thumbnail with D7 image style functionality, and makes the square thumbnail preset use it.

interesting. i hadn't thought of the possibility of using an unmanaged file. but i guess this is a good approach for now.

however, it does not work locally for me: after submitting a new youtube video, i get a thumbnail url like: http://localhost/modules/file/images/file-unknown.png.
