This is the first step towards being able to just import youtube_dl and start using it.
Apart from removing global state, this would fix problems like #1805.
* Do not accept '>' between the property and content attributes.
* Recognize the properties if the content attribute is before the property attribute using two regexes (fixes the extraction of the description for SlideshareIE).
On tvp.pl some webpages contain OpenGraph
metadata and some don't.
If og property is not found, _og_search_description
fails with
WARNING: unable to extract OpenGraph description; please report this issue on http://yt-dl.org/bug

The patch allows me to use:
try:
info['description'] = self._og_search_description(webpage)
info['thumbnail'] = self._og_search_thumbnail(webpage)
except RegexNotFoundError:
pass
With these changes, users can now restrict what videos are downloaded by the intented audience, by specifying their age with --age-limit YEARS .
Add rudimentary support in youtube, pornotube, and youporn.
When a IE is added to the list, it's also added to a dictionary. When a IE is requested it first looks in the dictionary and if there's no instance it will create a new one.
That way _real_initialize is only called once for each IE, saving time if it needs to login for example.
