feat(YouTube Music): Support version 7.25.53+

Application

YouTube Music

Feature description

This is not a feature request, but a description of the feature that will be introduce in the next release.

I previously rolled back the support version of YouTube Music to 7.16.53 for this reason.

About a month ago, Google started showing a banner to users of YouTube Music 7.24.51 or earlier urging them to update.

(This banner is hidden within about 1 second after the banner is shown due to the Hide ads patch.)

So I have been preparing support for YouTube Music 7.25.53 for a month.

I have confirmed that in YouTube Music 7.25.53, the action bar has been converted to a full litho component, and fortunately, it has a ComponentTree that is almost identical to YouTube.

So I was able to still implement most of my patches in YouTube Music 7.25.53.

The following patches are no longer available or have changed behavior due to the changes in YouTube Music 7.25.53:

Patch: Hide action bar components, Setting: Hide action button labels
: The action bar in YouTube Music 7.25.53 is now structured almost identically to YouTube’s action bar.

You can no longer hide the action bar label the way you did in YouTube Music 7.16.53.

Patch: Hide action bar components, Setting: Hide action buttons
: The action bar in YouTube Music 7.25.53 now has a nearly identical structure to YouTube's action bar, so #17 is reproduced in YouTube Music 7.25.53+.

Patch: Hide action bar components, Setting: Override Download action button
: Starting with YouTube Music 7.25.53, this feature is available only to Premium users.

This feature is available only on YouTube Music 7.16.53.

EDIT: Implemented in revanced-patches-5.4.1-dev.5

Patch: Player components, Setting: Remember shuffle state
: Starting with YouTube Music 7.25.53, the server rejects shuffle requests sent before the track starts.

(Now, Always shuffle can be applied 1 second after the track starts.)

While Always shuffle is still applied immediately in YouTube Music 7.16.53,
YouTube Music 7.25.53 applies Always shuffle 1 second after the track starts.

Patch: Spoof app version, Setting: Spoof app version
: Google has removed code related to the old-style action bar in YouTube Music 7.25.53.

So if you spoof the app version from YouTube Music 7.25.53 to 7.24.51 or earlier, you will lose the action bar.

For this reason, the recommended version of the Spoof app version patch is restricted to 7.16.53.

Motivation

Since the banner asking for an update is still visible, it seems likely that the YouTube Music API will change 'soon', so I added support for YouTube Music 7.25.53.

Personally, if you don't have any major issues with it, I would still recommend staying on YouTube Music 7.16.53.

Does it implies that no support for hooking the download button to an external app?

inotia00 do you know any Custom Filters to individually remove Playlists, Songs, Albums and Artists from the category bar within library? I know that I can simply enable the 'Hide Category Bar' in YouTube Music ReVanced Extended General Settings, but I want to keep the Podcasts button on-screen within library.
