The automatic instance redirection has the potential to pick
the same instance the user is currently on. This is especially
prevalent when the instance list is limited in number like how it is
today.
This PR checks the domain of the instance and ensures that it is not
the same as the current instane before redirecting the user to it.
Otherwise, it just sends the user to rediret.invidious.io
- language id
- language display name
- main/default track
Sort audio formats so that main/default is first (for clients not using dash)
* Note: this should be a non-breaking change; if audio track info is not availablle, the behavior does not change from current
Theoretically this should improve memory usage and performance by quite a bit
as we aren't creating a new HTTP::Client and in a turn a new connection for
every image we request from YouTube.

This PR adds a configuration option to control the preloading of video data on
page load with the HTML5 'preload'[1] attribute on the `<video>` element.
The option is enabled by default, meaning that the `preload` attribute's value
will be 'auto'. If users want to prevent preloading of video data, they
can disable the option, which will set the attribute value to 'none'.

The automatic instance redirection implemented in #1940 fetches a new list of
instances each time someone queries the /redirect endpoint. This is extremely
inefficient...
This PR optimizes all that into a background job that only fetches a single
list every 30 minutes. This should performance quite a bit.
