[YouTube] Support a new type of meta info

[Stypox]

• I carefully read the contribution guidelines and agree to them.
• I have tested the API against NewPipe.
• I agree to create a pull request for NewPipe as soon as possible to make it compatible with the changed API.

We got this report via email which I could reproduce:

A new format for meta info has been added, and this PR adds support for it. Closes TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#10820, although the video in that issue does not have meta info anymore.
