Implement monitoring /live endpoint as alternative to parsing rss feed #18

There are three scenarios to account for

Request is forwarded to live stream -> start yta
Request is forwarded to channel page -> do nothing
Request is forwarded to waiting room -> do nothing Waiting rooms can sometimes be scheduled frames for free chat or weekly schedules, which will likely never go live and could spawn long-waiting yta processes which also add to rate limit margin, especially when starting up

By the way, why not just use the Holodex API to get index of scheduled streams, and then set ytarchive in -w wait mode, so that it only starts trying to download when the stream goes live?

Wouldn't that limit the channels I can archive to those supported by the API? I have obscure taste.
