Refactor: Add object to represent chapters

Prior to this commit we used an Array of Chapter structs to represent
a video's chapters. However, as we often needed to apply operations on
the entire sequence of chapters, multiple isolated functions had to be
created and in turn clogged up the code.

By grouping everything together under a chapters struct that stores a
sequence of chapters, these functions can be grouped together, and can
be simplifed due to instance variables containing the data that they need.
