type: added area: youtube

• Added youtube.subtitleSource: set it to whisper to transcribe YouTube videos with Whisper instead of downloading YouTube's captions. The default stays youtube.
• Whisper mode keeps the video paused while it transcribes, with progress in the subtitle generation modal; close the modal to keep watching, or cancel to continue without subtitles.
• The subtitle generation modal (Ctrl+Shift+G) now also works on YouTube videos, whatever youtube.subtitleSource is set to.
• Whisper mode downloads a small audio-only stream and deletes it once generation ends, or when you switch videos, close mpv, or quit.
