Fix saving Invidious thumbnail URLs for subscriptions
Pull Request Type
Related issue
Maybe #5601 but the user is talking about the playlists database, but that doesn't save any thumbnail URLs.
Description
When you subscribe to a channel from the channel page with the Invidious API selected we currently save the Invidious thumbnail URL for that channel. This pull request fixes that so that we always save the YouTube URL.
Why is it problematic if we save the Invidious URL? It means we will always fetched the thumbnail from that Invidious instance regardless of which Invidious instance the user currently has selected or even when they switch to the local API. It could also result in the thumbnail not showing up at all if the Invidious instance in question goes down.
