Using https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade
1. `__future__` imports and `coding: utf-8` were removed
2. Files were rewritten with `pyupgrade --py36-plus --keep-percent-format`
3. f-strings were cherry-picked from `pyupgrade --py36-plus`
Extractors are left untouched (except removing header) to avoid unnecessary merge conflicts
* Split `__init__` code into multiple functions

Closes: #906, #901, #1085, #1170
In youtube-dl, `-i` ignores both download and post-processing error, and
treats the download as successful even if the post-processor fails.
yt-dlp used to skip the entire video on either error and there was no
option to ignore the post-processing errors like youtube-dl does.
By splitting the option into two, now either just the download errors
(--no-abort-on-error, default on CLI) or all errors (--ignore-errors)
can be ignored as per the users' needs
Closes#893
* [docs] Fix typo
* Do not enable `sponskrub` by default
* Fix `--force-keyframes-at-cuts`
* Don't embed subtitles if the video has been cut. Previously, running `--remove-chapters` with `--embed-subs` multiple times caused repeated cuts and out-of-sync subtitles
* Store `_real_duration` to prevent running ffprobe multiple times
SponsorBlock options:
* The fetched sponsor sections are written to infojson
* `--sponsorblock-remove` removes specified chapters from file
* `--sponsorblock-mark` marks the specified sponsor sections as chapters
* `--sponsorblock-chapter-title` to specify sponsor chapter template
* `--sponsorblock-api` to use a different API
Related improvements:
* Split `--embed-chapters` from `--embed-metadata`
* Add `--remove-chapters` to remove arbitrary chapters
* Add `--force-keyframes-at-cuts` for more accurate cuts when removing and splitting chapters
Deprecates all `--sponskrub` options
