Issue:
[17Live] VOD download
### Checklist

- [x] I'm requesting a site-specific feature
- [x] I've verified that I have **updated yt-dlp to nightly or master** ([update instructions](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#update-channels))
- [x] I've checked that all provided URLs are playable in a browser with the same IP and same login details
- [x] I've searched the [bugtracker](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20-label%3Aspam%20%20) for similar requests **including closed ones**. DO NOT post duplicates
- [x] I've read about [sharing account credentials](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#are-you-willing-to-share-account-details-if-needed) and I'm willing to share it if required

### Region

Japan

### Example URLs

https://17.live/ja/vod/27323042/2cf84520-e65e-4b22-891e-1d3a00b0f068

### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

17Live livestream and clip (?) were already currently supported.

I was wondering if we can add support for VODs too.

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [x] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [x] If using API, add `'verbose': True` to `YoutubeDL` params instead
- [x] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below

### Complete Verbose Output

```shell
>yt-dlp -Uv --ignore-config "https://17.live/ja/vod/27323042/2cf84520-e65e-4b22-891e-1d3a00b0f068"
