Option to choose different downloader for different protocols
* 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`
