Pull request #2318 (2022-01-12 21:19:29)

[youtube:tab] Raise error on silent tab redirect
Rather than allowing a missing channel tab to silently redirect to the Home tab, raise an error instead. This should result in less surprising behavior.

### Description of your *pull request* and other information

See one use case in https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/2306 . There is existing code that special cases /featured and /live tabs which either redirects or raises an error. The code suggests that it was meant to warn on all missing tabs, however only /videos would be checked.

This PR generalizes the tab name check and raises an error if the tab does not exist (or is hidden to the user due to a lack of access). Any tab not specially handled and which does not exist will trigger an error. All changes are grouped under the existing compat option "no-youtube-channel-redirect", so those who set this option will see no difference in behavior.

The changes do not include a check for whether certain video views such as "Upcoming live streams" exist; such changes would be less trivial to implement. The current behavior for these URLs haven't changed, you will still be "surprised" if no such streams exist.

coletdjnz: Oh lol I just started working on this too. I did a bit of cleanup that I might add in.
krichbanana: I hadn't noticed at the time I submitted this, sorry about that.
krichbanana: All YoutubeTab download tests pass. There are two bugfixes to discovered existing issues that I want a second opinion on, but I should be done with any changes.

 * The output of `-F` is listed in a new format. Use `--compat-options list-formats` to revert this
 * All *experiences* of a funimation episode are considered as a single video. This behavior breaks existing archives. Use `--compat-options seperate-video-versions` to extract information from only the default player
 * Youtube live chat (if available) is considered as a subtitle. Use `--sub-langs all,-live_chat` to download all subtitles except live chat. You can also use `--compat-options no-live-chat` to prevent live chat from downloading
-* Youtube channel URLs are automatically redirected to `/video`. Append a `/featured` to the URL to download only the videos in the home page. If the channel does not have a videos tab, we try to download the equivalent `UU` playlist instead. Also, `/live` URLs raise an error if there are no live videos instead of silently downloading the entire channel. You may use `--compat-options no-youtube-channel-redirect` to revert all these redirections
