ytdl_hook.lua: search for yt-dlp by default
Because youtube-dl is inactive and the yt-dlp fork is becoming more
popular, make mpv use yt-dlp without any extra configuration.
yt-dlp is ordered before youtube-dl because it's more obscure, so users
who have yt-dlp installed are more likely to want to use it rather than
youtube-dl.
Fixes #9208.
