Support links to playlists and channels

For links to channels, see the link in the description of

(after "Channel Video")

I can't find an example for links to playlists right now, but I recall it was the standard form for yt playlist links.

I should add that also links to yt hashtags in the form

https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/FOOBAR
don't work, i.e. you are redirected to the youtube app, though I'm not sure if newpipe has support for hashtags.

OK I had to dig into the android settings:

1. Apps -> Default apps -> Apps that can open links
2. Click on Newpipe and select "Open supported links" -> "In this app"
3. Click on YouTube and select "Open supported links" -> "In other app"

Now links to channels and playlists get correctly opened in newpipe.

I can't remember fiddling with those settings in the past. If this is not the default behaviour and those changes are needed to open all youtube links in newpipe, I think they should be documented in the FAQ or in the github homepage.

Links to youtube hashtags still get opened in another app (the default web browser), so maybe you should add them to the list of links supported by newpipe? (See my previous message for the URL scheme)
