[FEAT] YouTubeAutoSpeed - Skip video Intro/Outro #17

Description

@mkazin

Content creators have basically been forced to add an annoying bunch of time to videos pleading with users to subscribe, like, and comment to juice the almighty algorithm. For creators you watch a lot, this is super annoying and does not add value if you are actually subscribed (and use YouTubeNoComment).

Using the transcript we've already collected, analyze the text to determine which parts can be skipped. Monitor video progress and update playback to avoid these durations.

Also consider the possible use of chapters which some creators take advantage of. Not sure how reliable this would be.

Anything more than a naive keyword search would require some kind of connection to a (possibly LLM) backend. Perhaps a SAAS opportunity or self-hosted? Ideally with a videoId-keyed cache to reduce requests.
