feat(youtube): block YouTube ads (player data pruning + player fallback) - #14

Conversation
Merges the two YouTube approaches from #10 and #11: - youtube-inject.js (MAIN world, document_start): removes playerAds, adPlacements, adSlots and adBreakHeartbeatParams from the player response embedded in the page (ytInitialPlayerResponse, missed so far on a direct /watch load) and from youtubei player/next/reel responses (fetch, incl. Request objects, and XHR text/json). The player never schedules the ad. - It can't read extension storage, so background.js registers it with chrome.scripting only while protection is active and excludes allow-listed domains: pause, off and allow list apply from the first script of the page. Registration is serialized to avoid duplicate ids. - youtube.js (isolated, all frames incl. youtube-nocookie): fallback when an ad still starts. Hides and mutes it, fast-forwards it with a per-source guard and a grace period after a source change so the real video is never sent to its end, clicks skip, restores the sound it muted. Ad slots (masthead, feed, banners) follow the cosmetic setting. - rules: youtube.com/api/stats/ads, /pagead/, /ptracking (other doubleclick hosts are already covered by rule 1). - CI: syntax-check both scripts and the runtime-registered file. Closes #10, closes #11. Co-authored-by: PoPoGH <quentinlorente2502@gmail.com>

youtube-inject.js(world MAIN,document_start) : retireplayerAds,adPlacements,adSlotsetadBreakHeartbeatParamsdes données du lecteur, qui ne programme donc jamais la pub. Sources couvertes :ytInitialPlayerResponseintégré à la page. feat(youtube): block video ads via API interception + auto-skip #10 ne le couvrait pas, alors que c'est lui qui porte les pubs au premier chargement d'une vidéo.youtubei/v1/player|next|reelenfetch(y comprisRequest) et en XHR (texte ou JSON).chrome.scripting) : le script en world MAIN ne peut pas lire le stockage. background.js ne l'enregistre donc que si la protection est active, et exclut les domaines de la liste blanche. Pause, OFF et liste blanche s'appliquent ainsi dès le premier script de la page, sans course. Les appels sont sérialisés, sinon on obtient une erreurDuplicate script ID, reproduite en test.youtube.js(isolé, toutes les frames, youtube-nocookie compris) : filet de sécurité si une pub démarre quand même. Il la masque, coupe le son, l'avance à la fin et clique « Passer ». Deux garde-fous repris de feat(youtube): block video ads via API interception + auto-skip #10 : une avance par source, et 150 ms de délai après un changement de source, pour ne jamais envoyer la vraie vidéo à la fin. Il rétablit ensuite le son qu'il a lui-même coupé. Les emplacements pub (masthead, fil, bannières) suivent le réglage « Nettoyage visuel ».youtube.com/api/stats/ads,/pagead/,/ptracking. Les autres hôtes doubleclick de feat(youtube): block video ads via API interception + auto-skip #10 sont déjà couverts par la règle 1.Nouvelle permission
