Add feature to filter videos by date

[deborahlow97]

Fixes #31

Context

• Allow user to add a parameter to filter and download videos uploaded on or after the specified date.

Approach

• Used youtube_dl.DateRange to specify daterange
• Used Youtube API to get published date

Great! It's working fine. Couple things I'd love though:

• DateRange is very permissive but can still fail with garbage value. Could you protect that and make sure user gets an informative message in case of incorrect value? I'd prefer that to happen in run() so you could just store it in __init__ and convert/fail to DateRange in run
• Logs should display the daterange as well ; in the same way we display the nb of playlists/videos.
• in filter_videos_not_within_date_range, I see no need for your date_range variable. Can we get rid of it? Actually, I think you used it for sementic purposes and that makes me think we should maybe store the date range in a self.date_range instead. The parameter can stay as it is, as it implies youtube-dl compatibility.

👍 Alright, will do! Thanks for the informative feedback 😄

Currently, if no --dateafter is provided, INFO:videos in date range: 0001-01-01 - CURRENT_DATE_IN_YYYY-MM-DD would be logged.
