Description

See: https://github.com/0xced/XCDYouTubeKit/issues/463 for an example of how a similar project on iOS implemented this

Allowing NewPipeExtractor to accept additional regexes as a parameter would give NewPipe the ability to pull updated regexes from a server, file etc. to fix extraction errors without requiring an update - leading to reduced downtime.
