_parse_ism_formats was extended into _parse_ism_formats_and_subtitles;
all direct users were updated, though _extract_ism_formats was left
as a compatibility wrapper.
The SSTR downloader was also modified in order to prepare for muxing
subtitle streams, although no support for any subtitle codecs was
added in this commit.
* Renamed `--external-downloader-args` to `--downloader-args`
* Added `native` as an option for the downloader
* Use similar syntax to `--downloader-args` etc. Eg: `--downloader dash:native --downloader aria2c`
* Deprecated `--hls-prefer-native` and `--hls-prefer-ffmpeg` since the same can now be done with `--downloader "m3u8:native"` and `m3u8:ffmpeg` respectively
* Split `frag_urls` protocol into `m3u8_frag_urls` and `dash_frag_urls`
* Standardize shortening of protocol names with `downloader.shorten_protocol_name`
* Create `FFmpegPostProcessor.real_run_ffmpeg` that can accept multiple input/output files along with switches for each
* Rewrite `cli_configuration_args` and related functions
* Create `YoutubeDL._ensure_dir_exists` - this was previously defined in multiple places
* Option `--concurrent-fragments` (`-N`) to set the number of threads
Related: #165
Known issues:
* When receiving Ctrl+C, the process will exit only after finishing the currently downloading fragments
* The download progress shows the speed of only one thread

* Fix error when there is no `protocol` in `info_dict`
* Move HLS byte range detection to `Aria2cFD` so that the download will fall back to the native downloader instead of ffmpeg
* Fix bug with getting no fragments in DASH
* Convert `check_results` in `can_download` to a generator
