YouTube provides startIndex/length in UTF-16 code units, but Invidious
counted codepoints. Supplementary codepoints (emojis, rare CJK) are
2 UTF-16 units but 1 codepoint, causing links to shift by 1 per emoji.
Fix: count UTF-16 code units in copy_string via utf16_len() helper.
Also fix no-commands path (content.size is codepoint count, not a
valid limit for UTF-16 counting) and tail copy (was using byte-based
content.size - index).
Verified with real YouTube data (Rick Astley video, 16 commandRuns,
emoji 📚): old code produced 11/16 shifted links ('ttps://' instead
of 'https://'), fixed code produces 16/16 correct links.
Fixes#5821
Community posts comments still preserve the old author thumbnails
format that has an Array of thumbnails. I forgot to check that as I had
no idea `comments_youtube.cr` was also used for community posts comments
```json
"authorThumbnail": {
"thumbnails": [
{
"url": "//yt3.googleusercontent.com/ytc/AIdro_m9CJFVl3bEWvGnNnN4G9ErBO2lTpKePWCjx_FQtLWaDww=s32-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj-mo",

This package makes it conflict with the dependencies needed to build
Invidious (openssl, libpcre, etc). crystalline can work perfectly
without it tho, but it was added in the first place because crystalline
was trying to invoke it.
Crystal 1.21.0 now features execution contexts, they do not longer support (and recommend) the -Dpreview_mt build flag. -Dpreview_mt also worked really bad and it made Invidious to hang on high load, so it was never useful.

Some YouTube videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajkr_Wg-k8g
had an non comment key that was inside the Array that contained some
comment information that Invidious parses (like comment_key and
toolbar_key), that being the `commentFilterContextViewModel` key, which
is just an indicator on how comments are sorted:
```
{
"commentThreadRenderer": { ... } <- comment information that is
handled by line 134 of youtube.cr
},
{
"commentFilterContextViewModel": {
"text": {
"content": "Top is selected, so you'll see featured comments"
},
"accessibility": {
"accessibilityData": {
"label": "Top is selected, so you'll see featured comments"
}
}
} <- Useless information, this is not a comment
}
```
