Translate youtube channel and user URL into their feed (#612)

Youtube rss system is hiden inside their api to encourage account creation. I have added a step to transform automaticaly a user or a channel url like `https://www.youtube.com/user/scilabus` into its feed url: `https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=scilabus` Signed-off-by: s18alg <[email protected]>
