Title: [youtube] Add support for downloading top lists (fixes #1868)

It needs to know the channel and the title of the list, because the ids change every time you browse the channels and are attached to a 'VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE' cookie.

It's not the ideal approach, but it's the only method I've found. If anyone has a better idea, please share it.
