We should rework the headers and parameters that we send in https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/blob/master/src/invidious/yt_backend/connection_pool.cr#L9 because these were applicable to the old way for communicating with youtube servers.

Here are the parameters sent by newpipe and yt-dlp: https://gist.github.com/coletdjnz/cc0cbce42067b77c628d68c7b10a96c5

Like found in #3230 (comment), we should send the correct user-agent or youtube will send us an error Content not available in this app. upgrade to latest version of youtube..

From Matrix: Make sure you send the same version as the one used in the body to prevent fingerprinting

Isn't this still applicable for the data that will be fetched by Invidious? Eg channel feeds
