This PR allows the X-Title header received from thumbnail cache to be JSON-encoded as a way to transmit unicode characters. This doesn't replace the raw ASCII format (yet), only decodes the header as JSON if it starts & ends with a ", then checks if a string was decoded (so we don't accidentally end up decoding an object or something like that)

This is the client-side part for solving ajayyy/DeArrowThumbnailCache#3. Server-side part is in ajayyy/DeArrowThumbnailCache#9.

The invidious userscript uses the old behavior already. Maybe we should version it (change /api/v1 to /api/v{version}, pass that number to function)

Good point, I forgot about the whole versioned api thing
