This should circumvent edge cases where videos are marked as watch when they failed to play back.

- ThumbnailsModel optionally returns the quality
- Have constants for 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio
- Add high quality options for thumbnails
- Rename Highest quality to Best quality
- make 4:3 thumbnails fill the VideoCell
- use .maxes instead of .maxresdefault (the latter sometimes returns white images)

fixes#691
add `--initial-audio-sync=<yes|no>` to MPV settings. Might fix#690 but needs to be toggled by the user. We leave the standard settings.
Also added links to the icons on macOS.
We don't test every single stream anymore. If we get an 200, 206 or 403 we immediately stop testing streams. Unknown streams are also skipped. This speeds up starting playback, since we don'T have to wait for the network anymore.
Invidious, by design, has no images attached to chapters, in contrast to Piped.
Since the majority of videos with chapters don't have chapter-specific images and only use the videos' thumbnail, there is no difference here when compared to Piped's native thumbnail support.
New options for captions in `Settings-Player`:
- Always show captions
- Default language
User can now select whether they want to show captions automatically when the video starts, and select the language.
Captions selector now shows proper name -> `English (en)` instead of only `en`
`cache-pause-initial` status can now be selected by the user.
Also, on macOS and iOS, a link next to the option leads the user to the info on the mpv website.
fixes#674
I accidentally broke PiP when using MPV. While testing this, I noticed that PiP sometimes does not start, so I tried to make MPV to PiP a bit more robust.
This gives a huge increase in perceived performance. The UI is now much more responsive since some tasks are run in the background and don't block the UI anymore.
I added a new feature. When instances are not proxied, Yattee first checks the URL to make sure it is not a restricted video. Usually, music videos and sports content can only be played back by the same IP address that requested the URL in the first place. That is why some videos do not play when the proxy is disabled.
This approach has multiple advantages. First and foremost, It reduced the load on Invidious/Piped instances, since users can now directly access the videos without going through the instance, which might be severely bandwidth limited. Secondly, users don't need to manually turn on the proxy when they want to watch IP address bound content, since Yattee automatically proxies such content.
Furthermore, adding the proxy option allows mitigating some severe playback issues with invidious instances. Invidious by default returns proxied URLs for videos, and due to some bug in the Invidious proxy, scrubbing or continuing playback at a random timestamp can lead to severe wait times for the users.
This should fix numerous playback issues: #666, #626, #590, #585, #498, #457, #400
