Pull Request Type
Description
This pull request fixes the view count parsing in shorts only playlists. As they shorts in playlists don't have the view count overlay that shorts on channel pages do, FreeTube extracts the view count from the accessibility text which uses full words instead of abbreviations. The current extraction code only supported "million", this pull request adds "thousand" and "billion" to it too.
Shorts only playlists were not affected by the recent YouTube changes so this can be tested without having to wait for the YouTube.js update to be merged :).
