[Feature Request]: Hide channels based on text

Problem Description
Currently, channels can only be hidden manually through either "Hide Channel" in more options or by adding them directly to the "Hide Videos From Channels" list. In order to hide channels whose names contain certain text, a user would need to manually add countless channels to their list.
Proposed Solution
Allow the text specified in "Hide Videos and Playlists Containing Text" to also hide channels, possibly as an optional toggle.
Alternatives Considered
Create a separate list for the user to specify hidden text that applies only to channels, if the previous solution conflicts with hiding videos and playlists.
Issue Labels
ease of use improvement, new optional setting, improvement to existing feature

I've created a pull request that implements this as an option toggle from the existing text/tags.
I tried to copy the current logic as-is, which means videos from "Hidden Channels" (either via ID or now by text) are not being hidden under channel "Posts". I don't know if this is the intended logic or a separate bug that I can create a report for?

Its not a bug that channels are visible in the post tab on the subscription page. See https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/7868
