elfeed-tube-add-feeds doesn't work with handle-based channel urls #13

If I try to run elfeed-tube-add-feeds for a channel like https://www.youtube.com/@Bisqwit, it always fails.

Looking at the source for elfeed-tube-add-feeds, it looks like the way it checks whether or not an input is a channel is by using the original channel URL format: https://youtube.com/channel/base-64-id. It is tedious to find the channel's base-64 id now. It requires hunting through the channel's page source for it.

Could this function be updated to add a channel automatically given the new URL format?

You can just search for bisqwit and elfeed-tube-add-feeds finds the channel. I'll look into adding support for @channels.

Added support for handle-based channel urls.
