[Feature] Support for yt-dlp (BiliBili, YouTube, etc.)

[ReM2812]

It would be great to see yt-dlp integrated into this project.

Right now, it's pretty much the gold standard for video downloading. Adding it would give us "plug and play" support for tons of sites like BiliBili, Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube without having to write custom scrapers for each one.

It’s actively maintained and would make the downloader way more versatile. What do you think about adding it as a backend/dependency?

@XiaoYouChR I decided to add ytdlp_pack to the features folder myself, and it seems to be working.

Is it normal that the UI is a bit laggy when not packaged with Nuitka?

Maybe it is due to QFluentWidgets itself

Okay. Yeah, I can upload it now, but there are a ton of changes.

When I have time, I will review it in a timely manner

I’ve decided it’s best to postpone the release of ytdlp_pack for now. You were planning “something” related to the API to “prevent something” (I hope you know what I mean). After those additions and changes, everything would need to be reworked anyway. We’ll also likely need to expand API access at some point, since some features may not work due to the current limitations.

By the way, I’ve also created another pack, but I’d prefer not to share it yet. I want to make sure everything is properly sorted out, especially regarding licensing.
