Allow YouTube API v3 as alternative. #12

I'd suggest allowing users to provide a YouTube Data API v3 key for obtaining metadata, it should be much quicker and allow for more compatibility. The only missing piece is a director picture but that's just about it.

Example request:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics&id=QASbw8_0meM&fields=items(contentDetails%2Fduration%2Csnippet(channelTitle%2Cdescription%2CpublishedAt%2Cthumbnails%2Fmaxres%2Ctitle))&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

This should provide the majority of data required and gets around age-gating issues.
