FS#1279 - [avideo] Replace with youtube-dl

What do you think ? Avideo is not updated anymore, can’t we use regular youtube-dl instead as RMS himself say :

“youtube-dl is okay to be in the Directory because it does not actually execute nonfree JS as we first suspected.”

Source : https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Youtube-dl Also : https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/issues/222

YouTube-DL parses and runs non-free bytecode, you can see here for reference: https://git.hyperbola.info:50100/software/hypervideo.git/commit/?id=e4cffeb28069f07f9ad2ebba938df7599cec7ca3

We will be continuing avideo patches in hypervideo.
