fix: fix channel videos and playlists on searches

Channel videos are now encapsulated in a `lockupViewModel`.

There is 3 types of content that can be inside a `lockupViewModel`:

- LOCKUP_CONTENT_TYPE_VIDEO
- LOCKUP_CONTENT_TYPE_PLAYLIST
- LOCKUP_CONTENT_TYPE_PODCAST

This commit parses `LOCKUP_CONTENT_TYPE_VIDEO` and `LOCKUP_CONTENT_TYPE_PLAYLIST` types
to fix videos in channels and playlists in channels

There is another bugs to fix:

- Since `LOCKUP_CONTENT_TYPE_PODCAST` needs to be handled differently compared to `LOCKUP_CONTENT_TYPE_PLAYLIST`, podcasts of a channel do not appear in the list of podcasts (Example channel with podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/@GrantSanderson/podcasts)
- The playlists of a channel need a better parsing for it's channel hyperlink, since the channel hyperlink is not actually the channel, it's the updated date of the playlist or just "View full playlist"

PRs to fix those issues are welcome!
