youtube.lua: &fmt={audio,video} URL parameters for "adaptive" formats
This extends the old &fmt=[itag] URL syntax that we still supported all along to force format selection, and allows choosing from "adaptive" elementary streams without knowledge of itag specifics and in accordance with normal resolution preferences. This also allows playing only the audio part of music videos and skipping the download of the video part entirely, greatly reducing bitrate and providing mitigation against the throttling issue.
