Implements YTMusic as a "downloader"--uses it to search for the right Youtube video, otherwise works the same as the Youtube downloader. Fixes #45

Piggybacks off of the Python library with a basic wrapper script. This complicates the overall setup a bit (we need a Docker image that has Python installed now), but makes it a very simple setup that'll continue to receive updates from the library (as opposed to doing something like compiling a standalone version of the script). The proper, longer-term implementation here is probably setting up something to properly build this, I'm happy to take that as a future enhancement, but this should work fine!

This is my first time working with Go, please give it an extra-critical review.

Tested and works in ad-hoc runs. Will be confirming with this week's playlist that it 100% works (for me at least) and will update here after that.

Nice work! I think most of this could be implemented under the existing YouTube downloader rather than creating a separate one for YouTube Music, since the only difference seems to be in the search functions.

Do you think it would make sense to fall back to the Python API for searching if API_KEY isn’t set?

I’ll merge this into dev soon and also clean up the YouTube downloader code a bit.

Just dropping in a note here--worked perfectly for my scheduled run this week!

Are you suggesting just replacing the YouTube search with the YTMusic one unless an API key is set? I think that could work well if so
