ytdl_hook: pass http proxy to ffmpeg
FFmpeg only suppports http proxies and ignores it if the resulting url is https. Also, no SOCKS. Use it like `--ytdl-raw-options=proxy=[http://127.0.0.1:3128]` so it doesn't confuse mpv because of the colons. You need to pass it as an option because youtube-dl doesn't give us the proxy. Or just set `http_proxy` environment variable as recommended before. Added example using -append, which doesn't need escaping.

There is no sanity checking so it's possible to break things (i.e.
passing invalid parameters to youtube-dl).
+ A proxy URL can be passed for youtube-dl to use it in parsing the website.
+ This is useful for geo-restricted URLs. After youtube-dl parsing, some
+ URLs also require a proxy for playback, so this can pass that proxy
+ information to mpv. Take note that SOCKS proxies aren't supported and
+ https URLs also bypass the proxy. This is a limitation in FFmpeg.
