Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it
Age restriction imposes people to make and use a Google account and to submit a personal document if they live in the EU. As reported in TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#5006 and TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#5518 many YouTube age restricted videos don't work on NewPipe.

Start by reading the linked Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass script and the related issues #5006 and #5518. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so trace the relevant YouTube extraction flow and establish expected behavior before implementation. Done means the requested age-restricted video behavior is supported and covered by appropriate tests.
