Description

This pull request updates FreeTube's search filters to match YouTube's changes and the YouTube.js changes that happened as a result of YouTube's changes. I tried to preserve the translation strings for the durations in as many languages as possible by editing the existing strings but languages that use right-to-left direction reversing in the same line of text are very finicky to edit so I decided to leave those up to the translators.

Test that various search filters work.

  • Channels can be combined with the Popularity filter. Right now this is being restricted
  • Ditto for Playlists

Looks like YouTube changed that then, because that wasn't the case when I first implemented it a few weeks ago.
