Felix S 0715f7e19b
Revert erroneous use of the `Content-Length` header (#637) 
This reverts commit 6c907eb33f

The use of the Content-Length value here is erroneous and may lead
to truncated downloads if a compression scheme is specified in the
Content-Encoding header, as the Content-Length header refers to the
size of encoded data, not of the raw bytestream. This has been noticed
in the wild with WebVTT subtitle segments.

[webvtt] Merge daisy-chained duplicate cues (#638) 
Fixes: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/631#issuecomment-893338552

Previous deduplication algorithm only removed duplicate cues with
identical text, styles and timestamps.  This change also merges
cues that come in ‘daisy chains’, where sequences of cues with
identical text and styles appear in which the ending timestamp of
one equals the starting timestamp of the next.

This deduplication algorithm has the somewhat unfortunate side effect
that NOTE blocks between cues, if found, will be emitted in a different
order relative to their original cues.  This may be unwanted if perfect
fidelity is desired, but then so is daisy-chain deduplication itself.
NOTE blocks ought to be ignored by WebVTT players in any case.

Add regex to `--match-filter`

while `--match-title` can often be checked from the flat playlist.

[nbcolympics:stream] Fix extractor 
PR: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/29688
Closes: #617, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29665

* Livestreams are untested
* If using ffmpeg as downloader, v4.3+ is needed since `-http_seekable` option is necessary
* Instead of making a seperate key for each arg that needs to be passed to ffmpeg, I made `_ffmpeg_args`
* This deprecates `_seekable`, but the option is kept for compatibility

[common] Fix FourCC fallback when parsing ISM (#372) 
In some DASH manifests, the FourCC attribute is actually present,
but empty.  We thus apply the same fallback to 'AACL' that we do
when the attribute is entirely absent.

[utils] Escape URLs in `sanitized_Request`, not `sanitize_url` 
d2558234cf added escaping of URLs while sanitizing. However, `sanitize_url` may not always receive an actual URL.
Eg: When using `yt-dlp "search query" --default-search ytsearch`, `search query` gets escaped to `search%20query` before being prefixed with `ytsearch:` which is not the intended behavior. So the escaping is moved to `sanitized_Request` instead.

[extractor] Always prefer native hls downloader by default

[update] Replace self without launching a subprocess in windows 
Closes: #335, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/28488, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/5810, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/5994

In windows, a running executable cannot be replaced. So, the old updater worked by launching a batch script and then exiting, so that the batch script can replace the executable. However, this caused the above-mentioned issues.

The new method takes advantage of the fact that while the executable cannot be replaced or deleted, it can still be renamed. The current update process on windows is as follows:
1. Delete `yt-dlp.exe.old` if it exists
2. Download the new version as `yt-dlp.exe.new`
3. Rename the running exe to `yt-dlp.exe.old`
4. Rename `yt-dlp.exe.new` to `yt-dlp.exe`
5. Open a shell that deletes `yt-dlp.exe.old` and terminate

While we still use a subprocess, the actual update is already done before the app terminates and the batch script does not print anything to stdout/stderr. So this solves all the above issues

[cleanup] Refactor updater 
The updater now uses `.update.run_update` and not `.update.update_self`.
Although I don't expect anyone to be using the updater via API, a wrapper `update_self` is provided for compatibility just in case
