scrapetube problems, fix proposal #73

Description

@night-0909

Hello,

There are 4 problems with scrapetube for some months :

  • Youtube mixes three structures : videoRenderer, lockupViewModel and shortsLockupViewModel.
  • Youtube can return some videos when demanded tab don't exists, eg it returns Streams videos if channel has no stream but has regular videos.
    That's the case when Home tab isn't present in channel.
  • Youtube tabs don't have filter options when there's not enough videos.
  • popular and oldest filters :
    • when they are presents for a tab, these filters are not working anymore, as Youtube updated their structure.
    • are not working when channel has member subscriptions activated.

My fork : https://github.com/night-0909/scrapetube
videoId, title and is_live are now properties directly available when iterating on scrapetube.get_channel()
Warning with language of title, see #73 (comment)
