### Description

Hi everyone,
I propose the addition of [DeArrow](https://dearrow.ajay.app/) support for the Youtube videos widget. DeArrow is a crowd-sourced database of improved YT videos titles and thumbnails to make them better and clickbait-y.
I already implemented the title swap, and I now need to add the thumbnail swap.
I was thinking of adding two new options to the video:
```YAML
- type: videos
channels:
- UCXuqSBlHAE6Xw-yeJA0Tunw # Linus Tech Tips
- UCR-DXc1voovS8nhAvccRZhg # Jeff Geerling
- UCsBjURrPoezykLs9EqgamOA # Fireship
- UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ # Marques Brownlee
- UCHnyfMqiRRG1u-2MsSQLbXA # Veritasium
use-dearrow-titles: true
use-dearrow-thumbnails: false
```
The DeArrow API is very simple and you can find the documentation [here](https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/API_Docs/DeArrow).

Here is a comparison of before vs after with just the title swap:
