Add basic --download-archive option
Often, users want to be able to download only videos they haven't seen before, despite the video files having been deleted or moved in the mean time.
When --download-archive FILE is given, the extractor and ID of every download is recorded in the specified file. If it is already present, the video in question is skipped.
