[Youtube] --live-from-start support for sequence / range download

See original GitHub issue

Checklist

Description

Hi, I try to implement capability of youtube livestream download (–live-from-start), that we can determine from which sequence it starts downloads until live/current live, or range from sequence A to sequence B by changing some parts on extractor/youtube In my case this is working well as expected, and super useful, and I want to know what you guys think. Maybe if this is good enough I hope I can be push it upstream, or let this be just a feature request 😃

For this to be actually useful, the option needs to be time-based, not fragment based

Any method of range selection would be useful, I think. Currently it’s almost impossible to download default length of long live streams (120 hours) to cut a small portion of it.
