web_embedded: supports cookies, no Node.js/JS runtime needed, 23 video
formats available. android_vr was skipped by yt-dlp when cookies are
present since that client doesn't support cookie auth.

android_vr provides pre-signed format URLs that bypass YouTube's
n-challenge and signature JS requirements entirely. Tested: 23 video
formats available without any JavaScript runtime installed.
Reverts Node.js Dockerfile addition (which failed to build anyway).

Node.js is required by yt-dlp to solve YouTube's n-challenge (format URL
deobfuscation). Without it the web client returns no video formats.
The tv and ios player clients were removed — both require GVS PO tokens
that we don't have, so they only produce warnings and block every request.
The web client with Node.js installed gives 30+ formats and works cleanly.

- _cookie_args() no longer falls through to --cookies-from-browser when
cookies_file is configured but missing. Firefox isn't installed in the
Docker image, so that fallback caused yt-dlp to exit with empty stdout
and every metadata fetch to return "Video not found on YouTube".
- fetch_video_metadata() now retries without auth args if the first call
fails, so a broken cookie config can't block public video fetches.
- Add use_oauth2 setting + full device-auth flow (POST /settings/oauth2-init,
GET /settings/oauth2-status) with OAuth2Section UI in Settings page.
- Add GET /settings/ytdlp-test diagnostics endpoint.
