Fix comment extractor args separator (, → ;) and use comment_sort=top

Browse Source 
yt-dlp separates extractor args with ; not ,. The malformed arg was
causing max_comments to parse as a garbage string, fetching ~1 comment.
Also swap max_comment_depth (not a real YouTube extractor arg) for
comment_sort=top to get highest-engagement comments first.
