Miro Rauhala 9bd9afa6bd youtube-dl: add download the best audio+video (#3790) 
* youtube-dl: add download the best audio+video

With this command the user can download the best audio and video separately. After it's done downloading, it will spawn ffmpeg to merge the two files together. Handy when downloading stuff from youtube as they host video and audio separate.
