### Description of your *pull request* and other information

This one is a bit experimental

This adds support for downloading youtube stories, which are usually only accessible on mobile. However, with some magic we can view and download them on desktop youtube too :wink: 

Example story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PNJCjXkrps&pp=8AEB
Example story playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chHM75fI770&list=RLTDwFCb4jeqaKWnciAYM-ZVHg&index=2&pp=8AEB



(note these example links will probably stop working due to the nature of stories)

By adding player parameter `8AEB`, it enables stories to be viewable (I've added this to the links above).
 
I've currently hardcoded this to the webpage download & player ep requests. It doesn't seem to have an affect on normal videos but some thorough testing is probably required to be sure.

Currently only supports getting stories by channel id
ytstories:RLTDwFCb4jeqaKWnciAYM-ZVHg
ytstories:UCwFCb4jeqaKWnciAYM-ZVHg

(can also use the video id but these can be hard to get)

There is also an issue where the RLTD playlist is an unviewable playlist, but youtube incorrectly still provides a link to the /playlist page. So I've had to override that.

Also credit to Stellarator for helping figure this out :smiley: 

coletdjnz: Added support for comments. It's a bit hacky, we generate a continuation is there isn't one given (reusing from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/2d6659b9ea24ecea1b0694c96711fef09aa87faa). An issue I notice is the warning text that there is no comments will show even if we are able to get comments.
coletdjnz: Stories seem to be eventually deleted so not sure if we should bother adding a test for them
pukkandan: Add one test, if only for documentation
