This patches the redgifs extractor to avoid directly calling their API. Redgifs has begun requiring user or client authentication to access any part of their API. They have not implemented a user token scheme, and as of now, the client scheme is unacceptable for use in a desktop application. This avoids calling the redgifs API directly by using the yt-dlp project to extract from redgifs instead.
This is intended as a temporary patch until an appropriate token scheme is implemented by redgifs, which can then be used for extraction.
