YSCH: Add an option to hide any comments that include a sentence from the video's transcript #10

This would work best with official subtitles rather than the auto-generated ones. Initially it would only search for exact matches, but posteriorly it could search for mostly similar sentences.

This feature would interoperate with the YouTube Clickbait-Buster userscript. YCBB would provide the transcript and YSCH would use it as a second layer of filtering. So to use this feature the user would need to have both YCBB and YSCH installed.

Maybe this interoperability isn't really necessary. I think filtering comments that contains quoted phrases would already do the job in almost all cases. Just need to make sure that the phrases are long enough to be treated as a quote instead of just quoted terms.

It will cause false-positives though, such as comments with quotes from sources other than the video itself, so this could be a light alternative to searching the transcript.
