feat(YouTube): Add channel ad whitelist #2331

Description

@WHITE-KNIGHT5

Feature description

Hi Morphe Team!

I'd like to request a feature that existed in YouTube Vanced but now it's not available in any YouTube Patches.

Problem
Currently, the only options are:

(I) Block ads everywhere.
(II) Disable ad blocking completely.

This means that if I want to support one of our favorite creators by watching ads, I have to disable ad blocking globally and end up seeing ads on every channel.

Proposed solution
Add a Channel Ad Whitelist feature.

Image

Example behavior:
Ads remain blocked by default.
Users can whitelist individual channels.
Videos from whitelisted channels play with normal YouTube ads.
Ads continue to be blocked on every other channel.

UI suggestion
Instead of the old Vanced toggle, make it easier to use:
Add "Allow ads for this channel" in the player buttons or in video overflow menu (⋮).
Or add it to the channel page.
Manage all whitelisted channels from:
Settings → Ads → Channel Ad Whitelist
Features:
View all whitelisted channels.
add any channel with it's handle(username)
Remove channels.
Search channels.
Import/Export whitelist (doesn't need if this can also be import/export with Morphe settings)

Motivation

Why this is useful
It will let users financially support their favorite creators by watching ads.
No need to disable ad blocking globally.
More convenient than the old Vanced implementation.
I think this would be a valuable quality-of-life feature for users who want both an ad-free experience and an easy way to support selected creators.

Thank You for your hardwork on Morphe 🫡.
