site-specific improvements

bandcamp

1. prefers mp3-320 (checks every track)
2. downloads entire discography if given root-domain or /music url

twitter

file-name is now twitter-username and tweet-id (instead of full text of a tweet, which can result in strings over 255 characters long, aborting the entire process)

reddit

file-name is now subreddit, post-id, and url-slug (instead of full text of a title, which can result in strings over 255 characters long, aborting the entire process)

youtube

allows to set several predetermined filesystem-paths to keep file-categories separately:

• y m <youtube_URL> – music (automatically chosen for music.youtube.com)
• y a <youtube_URL> – audiobooks

soundcloud

1. occasional wav-files are converted to mp3 320kb/s
2. artist is set based on url (instead of having none by default)

instagram

• file-name is now username, video id, and nubmer of the video if there are multiple (instead of "Video by username", which refuses to download multiple videos from different id's: "Video by username.mp4 has already been downloaded")
• TODO: explose playlist's %(uploader_id)s, nr_current, nr_total to the naming api
