shortcutNextVideo and shortcutPrevVideo used player.nextVideo() and player.previousVideo() which on recent YouTube versions navigate outside the current playlist instead of advancing within it. When a playlist is active (URL contains 'list' param), click the player's built-in .ytp-next-button / .ytp-prev-button instead, which correctly stays within the playlist. Falls back to the API calls when not in a playlist or if the buttons are not found. Fixes code-charity#3678
