#908: get YouTube playlists past the ~100-track cap (yt-dlp #16943 workaround)

Browse source 
YouTube Music 'Liked Music' (and any large playlist) only returned ~104 tracks. Diagnosed it
to a YouTube/yt-dlp regression (upstream #16943): the webpage-based playlist path stops at the
first ~100-item continuation page. Not a SoulSync cap (no limit in the parse path) and not the
user's cookies/IP — reproduced on a fully-served public playlist.

Fix: pass extractor_args youtubetab:skip=webpage so yt-dlp pages via the InnerTube API instead.
Verified live on the reporter's setup: 100 -> 200 entries on a large playlist (the workaround is
itself partial upstream, but a major improvement until yt-dlp PR #16948 lands). Single touch point
— parse_youtube_playlist is the only place that lists a YouTube playlist.
