Add slider for setting number of columns in gridview (and thumbnail size) #169

Since a few people have commented on how they would like smaller and more thumbnails per row, I've implemented a simple slider that can adjust this. This should resolve #153 and #154 and possibly also allow better support for ultra wide as requested in #137

By default it should take the value YT chooses (based on screen size and resolution, I guess) and for now there is no persistence to the value set (ie. refresh causes it to go back to YT default), but it works when clicking through different pages directly as YT stays on a single "page" when doing so. Question for review: Does it make sense to ship this as BETA without the save functionality?

Since the main current feature is to hide watched videos, I don't see how visual changes are related to the project's scope.

Users have various options to modify how many videos appear in the grid (CSS changes with extensions like Stylus or JS changes with extensions like CustomTube). Other than being redundant, implementing this feature could create compatibility issues with those other extensions.

While adding this functionality may help some users, I recommend not implementing it in this extension and giving users who post issues pointers to other extensions that may be useful.
