Pause and Resume a download in progress

While a single YouTube video is downloading, the progress window now has a Pause button next to Cancel. Pause it, and a Resume button takes its place - click it whenever you're ready and the download picks up close to where it left off instead of starting over from 0%.

Under the hood, Pause uses the same partial-file mechanism as v1.4.0's crash-recovery resume feature: it stops the download but keeps it marked as resumable, so yt-dlp continues the same partial file when you resume. That also means if you pause a download and then close the app entirely, it'll still show up as resumable the next time you open KineTube.

Only single-video YouTube downloads have Pause for now - bulk downloads and Instagram downloads don't yet.
