[Feature Request] allow playback from other sites besides youtube and soundcloud

[rhetr]

it would be great if the media plugin could play from other sites besides youtube and soundcloud, for example:

• bandcamp
• online radio stations (eg KCRW, KEXP or radio.net)
• a self-hosted http server (it would be good if there were an "IgnoreCertificates" flag for this too)

maybe using something like streamlink or yt-dlp make sense.

The bot used to have an experimental plugin that supported playing radio stations, perhaps I can revisit this feature and also look into including bandcamp, etc. for the next major release.

This is the old experimental branch with the radio plugin:
https://github.com/DuckBoss/JJMumbleBot/tree/experimental-radio-plugin/JJMumbleBot/plugins/extensions/radio

It was a little glitchy, but generally functioned fine. I'll revisit this feature again hopefully soon.

@rhetr I implemented some radio functionality into the latest v5.3.0 release.

I wasn't planning on updating this project further and instead focus on the upcoming rework project, but I made a couple fixes to keep this project running and functional, so I also included the ability to stream from radio stations in the existing media plugin.
It should be compatible with most IceCast streams.

Usage:

!radiolink <icecast_url>

You can use existing audio commands such as !stop/!pause/!resume/!playing with the radio streams as well.
There are also some example stream links in the media plugin metadata file.
