Feature Request: Auto naming m3u files

See original GitHub issue

Requested Feature

When using --m3u param to create an m3u file from a playlist or album the app should automatically use the playlist/album name as the m3u file name and not require a parameter with the file name. This is the way SpotDL did it before v4 but I think an optional param is the best way to go, so that the m3u can be named or just deduced from the downloaded list if possible.

Possible implementation

Get the name of the playlist/album from the Spotify API and inject into m3u_file param of the download function in the case there is only 1 URL.

We could also make it so that the filename is an optional parameter, and the default is the playlist name. I could make a PR of this

If this is something you guys might want to add, I can start working on it right away
