Add the ability to explicitly specify which language subtitles you want to download

This applies to both automatic subtitles (created and automatically translated) and those created manually.

You can always uncheck "All languages" in the subtitles section and specify --sub-langs in custom arguments.

The defaults of youtube-dl-wpf try to preserve as much about the original source as possible. I'm not sure if --sub-langs really deserves an extra text field in the UI.

Another project seal in github. After setting the specific language subtitle parameters (such as Chinese: .zh-Hans), it can successfully download the automatically generated translated subtitles and integrate them into the video through ffmpeg. However, many times I added download subtitles through youtube-dl-wpf, downloaded automatically generated subtitles, and specified the language (.zh-Hans), but the following two situations still occurred: 1. Subtitles in the relevant language cannot be found; 2. The downloaded subtitles are still automatically generated in English.

With 466ce4e8c52ae3cd69d960bd3e8e97603f5de218, you can now pick subtitle languages in the GUI. Try it out by downloading the build artifacts from https://github.com/database64128/youtube-dl-wpf/actions/runs/18018772613.
