Very large commit to merge into next

- yt_dlp integration is complete. Download thread can now accept a video download instance and connect to yt_dlp directly so video downloads no longer have to be redirected to aria2. yt_dlp native error messages are also shown in the error dialogs. FFmpeg is built directly from source.
- Torrent seeding toggle and seeding ratio settings added to preferences.
- Layout is now adaptable with the sidebar now collapsing if the window is shrinked to a certain width.
- Preferences page now has separate tabs for Basic, Torrent and Advanced settings.
- Scheduler settings page is changed from its own dialog into a navigation page on top of the Preferences dialog. It is also slightly redesigned to make it adaptable.
- .torrent files can now be dragged and dropped onto the window to be loaded (fixes #132).
- New downloads are now added on the top of the list. Downloads that were paused now stay paused when Varia is launched again, and they load in the same order as before.
- A lot of code is refined and deduplicated without any deprecated functionality for better performance and easier maintenance in the future.
- Localization improvements, option for translators to pick if the percentage sign is put before or after a percentage number in order to conform with that language.
- .desktop file now includes many new keywords (including "bittorrent" as proposed in issue #134).
- Each download's state (.varia file) is now saved immediately once the download instance is created instead of when the app is exiting or if the user presses pause.
- New .doap file to identify the project is added.
- Dependencies information directories changed to include new licenses.
- build-for-windows.sh updated to include FFmpeg. It now also downloads aria2c.exe from its GitHub repository automatically instead of asking the user to provide it on their own. Also adjusted to switch to the UCRT runtime of MSYS2.
- CONTRIBUTING.md updated to include the new Weblate instance link.

 ## Code
 
-If you want to contribute code, you mainly want the 'next' branch for things like new features that'll land in the next major version, as that branch is for active development. For important bug fixes however, you want the 'main' branch, so I can release a hotfix quickly from there without having to also release all the untested new features in development. These fixes can be applied to the 'next' branch later.

 ## Translations
 
-In the case of translations, you want the 'next' branch unless if there is a really embarassing mistake that needs immediate correction with a hotfix, in which case you want the 'main' branch. Translations are done with .po files that you can create with a program like Poedit for example.
+There is now a Weblate instance for Varia, kindly provided by Weblate for free (thanks Weblate! <3). As such, the hosted Weblate instance will be used for translations from now on. It makes following through with Varia's development much easier if you're a translator. There's no need to open pull requests for each time you want to push forward an addition or change.

+
+The Weblate instance is for the 'next' branch, which is the development branch of Varia. However, if there is a really embarassing mistake that needs immediate correction with a hotfix, you should do a pull request for the 'main' branch here. **Please don't do this for corrections or additions that aren't super important though.**
