Fixes: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/631#issuecomment-893338552
Previous deduplication algorithm only removed duplicate cues with
identical text, styles and timestamps. This change also merges
cues that come in ‘daisy chains’, where sequences of cues with
identical text and styles appear in which the ending timestamp of
one equals the starting timestamp of the next.
This deduplication algorithm has the somewhat unfortunate side effect
that NOTE blocks between cues, if found, will be emitted in a different
order relative to their original cues. This may be unwanted if perfect
fidelity is desired, but then so is daisy-chain deduplication itself.
NOTE blocks ought to be ignored by WebVTT players in any case.

* Livestreams are untested
* If using ffmpeg as downloader, v4.3+ is needed since `-http_seekable` option is necessary
* Instead of making a seperate key for each arg that needs to be passed to ffmpeg, I made `_ffmpeg_args`
* This deprecates `_seekable`, but the option is kept for compatibility

* `player_client` accepts multiple clients
* default `player_client` = `android,web`
* music clients can be specifically requested
* Add IOS `player_client`
* Hide live dash since they can't be downloaded

_parse_ism_formats was extended into _parse_ism_formats_and_subtitles;
all direct users were updated, though _extract_ism_formats was left
as a compatibility wrapper.
The SSTR downloader was also modified in order to prepare for muxing
subtitle streams, although no support for any subtitle codecs was
added in this commit.
* Renamed `--external-downloader-args` to `--downloader-args`
* Added `native` as an option for the downloader
* Use similar syntax to `--downloader-args` etc. Eg: `--downloader dash:native --downloader aria2c`
* Deprecated `--hls-prefer-native` and `--hls-prefer-ffmpeg` since the same can now be done with `--downloader "m3u8:native"` and `m3u8:ffmpeg` respectively
* Split `frag_urls` protocol into `m3u8_frag_urls` and `dash_frag_urls`
* Standardize shortening of protocol names with `downloader.shorten_protocol_name`
* Create `FFmpegPostProcessor.real_run_ffmpeg` that can accept multiple input/output files along with switches for each
* Rewrite `cli_configuration_args` and related functions
* Create `YoutubeDL._ensure_dir_exists` - this was previously defined in multiple places
* Option `--concurrent-fragments` (`-N`) to set the number of threads
Related: #165
Known issues:
* When receiving Ctrl+C, the process will exit only after finishing the currently downloading fragments
* The download progress shows the speed of only one thread

* Fix error when there is no `protocol` in `info_dict`
* Move HLS byte range detection to `Aria2cFD` so that the download will fall back to the native downloader instead of ffmpeg
* Fix bug with getting no fragments in DASH
* Convert `check_results` in `can_download` to a generator
* All modules and binary names are changed
* All documentation references changed
* yt-dlp no longer loads youtube-dlc config files
* All URLs changed to point to organization account
