Subscription enhancements, QoL improvements, and bugfixes
Subscription download items are labeled by subscription title instead of url
Added advanced features in subscriptions to allow for custom before and after scripts. These scripts should exit with code 0 for success. Any other exit code will cause the download to stop entirely. Example: If you have a pre-script that executes and generates a list, you may want to exit with an error code if the list fails to generate so that Stacher doesn't try to use an input file that doesn't exist.
Added subscription support to read from a text file instead of URL. This can work with pre and post scripts if you have some external script that generates a list of urls. The file must contain one url per line and work with the yt-dlp --batch-file option
Added option to subscription to NOT break on already downloaded items
Updated notifications to be more informative
After a subscription downloads, the title of the item will display a NEW X where x is the number of new items downloaded
Behind the scenes work to prep the code for non intel macs and linux versions
