feat(YouTube): Open channel instead video from thumbnail marked as live
Feature description
During video list scrolling, the avatar preview of some channels are marked as live. Usually clicking on the preview will redirect the user to the channel, but in this case it redirect to a live of the channel aired at that time.
This is probably matter of an intent, that need to be changed somewhere.
Motivation
Reach a channel sometime can be annoying, and this can lead to an alternative way to reaching it (already descripted in the previous question).
In brief: this patch will reduce the interaction to open a channel, by avoiding the user first opening a video and then accessing the channel from it (especially if the channel often make lives).

@LisoUseInAIKyrios I don't know if you can find a better way to get channel id from a video link, but NewPipe Extractor seemed like the only possible choice, and the v3 API doesn't work without a private key.
I don't know any other ways to get the channel from a random video id.
This is a somewhat minor feature that requires adding complex external libraries. It's not a feature I would ever use, so for me it's in a "I don't care" category.
...that requires adding complex external libraries.
