* Add debug/trace logging to extract_items
* Handle invalid timestamps for livestreams extraction
* Make use of author_fallback in playlist extractor
* Don't use extract_text for video length extraction
The extract_text function attempts to extract from both the simpleText and
the runs route. This is typically what we'd want for text extraction as
it could appear in both locations. However, while this still holds true,
the thumbnailOverlayTimeStatusRenderer writes a numerical length (when
present on the video) to the simpleText route and uses runs for a
text overlay like "LIVE" or "PREMIERE".
Therefore, when a video has a text overlay instead of a numerical one,
Invidious still passes it onto decode_length_seconds, which obviously
raises since it cannot be converted into integers.
In the future, if more routes requires one text route over the other, we
should go ahead and add an argument to extract_text itself. Though for
now, this is sufficient.
* Handle unsupported "special" categories
- Add extract_text to simplify extraction of InnerTube texts
- Add helper extractor methods to reduce repetition in parsing InnerTube
- Change [] more than 2 blocks long to use #dig or #dig?
- Remove useless ?.try blocks for items that always exists
- Add (some) documentation to VideoRendererParser

This commit adds a new parser for YT's shelfRenderers which are
typically used to denote different categories.The code for featured
channels parsing has also been moved to use the new parser but some
additional refactoring are needed there.
The ContinuationExtractor has also been improved and is now capable of
extraction continuation data that is packaged under
"appendContinuationItemsAction"
In additional this commit adds some useful helper functions to extract
the current selected tab the continuation token. This is to mainly
reduce code size and repetition.

This cherry-picked commit also removes the code for parsing featured
channels present on the original.
