Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hello. First of all, youtube-dl is the most amazing software. I use it every day and I am VERY thankful for your work on this project. It is amazing and competent, reliable and fast

My request is very simple: I'd like youtube-dl to add support for BITCHUTE which is an alternative youtube site that is allegedly censorship resistant. They have recently added RSS for the channels, using the convention of preceeding the channel with /feeds/rss/

example video channel: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/corbettreport/
example video channel's RSS feed: https://www.bitchute.com/feeds/rss/channel/corbettreport/

Thank you for considering it!
