Add func to download multiple videos by manually

yt-download-videos should be used from within a Dired buffer in the
desired path.

yt-dlp is not youtube specific, just like this package.

User should be able to manually run yt-dlp anywhere, downloading
videos without being restricted to a predefined search query
