This PR:
* gets thumbnail and channel name from the initial request
* gets videos, shorts and streams via autogenerated channel playlists
Test Url: /channel/UCbfnHqxXs_K3kvaH-WlNlig
Closes issue 3513
The /api/v1/videos endpoint does not proxy the formatStreams URLs when
'local=true' is passed, whereas the adaptiveFormats URLs are correctly proxied.
The Web UI does proxy when clicking "Download" with 'fmt=18' for example, so
this is probably an oversight. This PR aims to fix that.

This PR adds two new config option, to pass a PO token (config 'po_token') and
a visitor ID (config 'visitor_data') to Youtube. These two strings are required
to play videos using the WEB client.
Warning: These strings gives much more identifiable information to Google!
If the po_token setting is filled in, then the WEB client is used. If not, the
Android client is used. TvHtml5ScreenEmbed will still be used as a fallback.
Script for generating po_token and visitor_data:

Helps with issue 4734
This PR adds support for inv_sig_helper, which offloads the player fetching,
function extraction and signature parsing, which in turn allows to use the
web client to watch videos.
When the new config option "signature_server" is not set, the logic for the
external signature server is not enabled and invidious behaves like before.
This PR also updates the crystal overrides because the stdlib changed quite
a while ago (See issue 11049 at crystal-lang/crystal) and those were required
to properly use TCP/unix sockets.
Closes issue 4649
Note: Does not add rel="noreferrer noopener" to:
* links in channel description
* links in video descriptions
* links in video comments

This PR adds support for parsing the newer channel header format
(banner + subscription parsing)
Before this change:
* 0 subscribers
* No banner image
After this change:
* Example with Mr Breast channel: 299M
* Image banner is visible
Closes issue 4783
Before this PR, Invidious assumed that every playlist had at least one video.
When a playlist had no videos, Invidious was throwing an "Index out of bounds"
exception.
The following API endpoints were impacted:
* api/v1/playlists/:plid
* api/v1/auth/playlists/:plid
Fixes issue 4679
