Add ability to configure arbitrary additional CLI args for each dependency

See original GitHub issue

I’m imagining a feature like this:

config.py:

YOUTUBEDL_ARGS = ['-f', 'bestvideo[filesize<500M][height<=?480]+bestaudio/best']
...
WGET_ARGS = ['--no-warc-compression']
...

extractors/youtubedl.py:

...
CMD = [
    YOUTUBEDL_BIN,
    ...
    *YOUTUBEDL_ARGS,
]
...

This will allow people to self-configure the extractor behavior with much more customizability, without requiring archivebox-level config flags for each separate feature.

leave CHECK_SSL_VALIDITY separate from the args system, because it applies to many extractors, but yeah you can make SAVE_PLAYLIST an arg.

Don’t bother with the Django settings refactor for now, I have an idea of how to do it and I’d like to do it myself later on with a module re-organization. Get this one out first as it’s quite simple.
