In some DASH manifests, the FourCC attribute is actually present,
but empty. We thus apply the same fallback to 'AACL' that we do
when the attribute is entirely absent.

d2558234cf added escaping of URLs while sanitizing. However, `sanitize_url` may not always receive an actual URL.
Eg: When using `yt-dlp "search query" --default-search ytsearch`, `search query` gets escaped to `search%20query` before being prefixed with `ytsearch:` which is not the intended behavior. So the escaping is moved to `sanitized_Request` instead.
When the manifest is not downloadable by native downloader, it already is able to detect it and switch to `ffmpeg`. So there doesn't seem to be a reason anymore to use ffmpeg as the preferred downloader
Closes: #335, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/28488, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/5810, https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/5994
In windows, a running executable cannot be replaced. So, the old updater worked by launching a batch script and then exiting, so that the batch script can replace the executable. However, this caused the above-mentioned issues.
The new method takes advantage of the fact that while the executable cannot be replaced or deleted, it can still be renamed. The current update process on windows is as follows:
1. Delete `yt-dlp.exe.old` if it exists
2. Download the new version as `yt-dlp.exe.new`
3. Rename the running exe to `yt-dlp.exe.old`
4. Rename `yt-dlp.exe.new` to `yt-dlp.exe`
5. Open a shell that deletes `yt-dlp.exe.old` and terminate
While we still use a subprocess, the actual update is already done before the app terminates and the batch script does not print anything to stdout/stderr. So this solves all the above issues
The updater now uses `.update.run_update` and not `.update.update_self`.
Although I don't expect anyone to be using the updater via API, a wrapper `update_self` is provided for compatibility just in case
PNG, being a lossless format, should be a better default here compared to JPG since we won't be compressing to a lossy format and losing some of the original image data
PNG is also supported for embedding in all the formats similar to JPEG
