security: harden code against command injection and path traversal

Core changes:

* enforce HTTPS URLs and remove shell usage in generate_release.py
* replace os.system calls with subprocess across the codebase
* validate external inputs (playlist names, video IDs)

Improvements and fixes:

* settings.py: fix typo (node.lineno → line_number); use isinstance() over type()
* youtube/get_app_version: improve git detection using subprocess.DEVNULL
* youtube/util.py: add cleanup helpers; use shutil.which for binary resolution

YouTube modules:

* watch.py: detect and flag HLS streams; remove unused audio_track_sources
* comments.py: return early when comments are disabled; add error handling
* local_playlist.py: validate playlist names to prevent path traversal
* subscriptions.py: replace asserts with proper error handling; validate video IDs

Cleanup:

* remove unused imports across modules (playlist, search, channel)
* reorganize package imports in youtube/**init**.py
* simplify test imports and fix cleanup_func in tests

Tests:

* tests/test_shorts.py: simplify imports
* tests/test_util.py: fix cleanup_func definition
