feat(YouTube): Show subtitles / captions in PiP mode & tablet mini player

[castdrian]

Application

YouTube

Issue

YouTube subtitles aren't displayed in PiP mode/tablet miniplayer because they're some screen overlay that just gets disabled

Patch

Ideally the captions would be visible in PiP mode and tablet miniplayer

Motivation

It seems reasonable that captions shouldn't disappear, whilst you're watching something

Captions would block the entire view to videos. This patch is not feasible properly, likely why YouTube also did not implement it natively.

I would like to mention that Netflix has this working perfectly fine by just scaling down the subtitles appropriately with the PiP window, but alas this can stay closed as it's probably too challenging to implement either way.

Doesn't look too small, i imagined it worse. This request would need a patch to disable the behavior of turning off subtitles when going into PiP.

Mpv shows subtitles in a good way in android for reference-
