YouTube Shorts embeds are displayed with an incorrect aspect ratio on mobile devices, causing the iframe to overflow its container and break the layout.

This PR adds a targeted CSS rule to ensure Shorts (vertical videos) maintain a proper 9:16 aspect ratio, allowing them to scale correctly within responsive layouts.

@wprashed you need to update the style.css not the RTL version.

Also, this seems like it should rather be a style change for the Embed block in the Gutenberg repo, rather than being something theme-specific? Or is there an issue with the Twenty Nineteen theme which is uniquely causing a problem here?
