yt-dlp: Multiple tweaks - #23
Merged

Conversation
Allows using "ytdlp" URI scheme to try to extract ANY site with yt-dlp. We probably cannot test all 1800+ sites that yt-dlp supports, so lets keep support for "https" with "X-Hosts" data for the ones that were tested, thus will be picked automatically without URI changes. The rest will be as a "try and see if it works" with "ytdlp" scheme. Once some fequently used site is confirmed to work, PRs for adding it to "X-Hosts" are welcome.
In case of yt-dlp we might get different headers for video and audio track. Also, with non-adaptive content, single headers might be placed inside info root. The best way to handle all that is probably to merge all headers from requested formats/downloads and info root, then just add them to harvest.

Make our own debug logger as a means to workaround lack of ability in yt-dlp to cancel media extraction. Do this by checking cancellable each time before printing debug message. Since URI tests print multiple times while single chunk is being downloaded, it should allow to cancel extraction in the middle of download too.
Instead of object init, create ytdl instance in extract. We do not use it in playlistable interface, so no need to create and init it when parsing playlist.
Allow users and applications to manually configure yt-dlp extractor arguments. Uses the same syntax as yt-dlp command line.
