* [youtube] Fix `--youtube-skip-dash-manifest`
* [build] Use `$()` in `Makefile`. Closes#3684
* Fix bug in 385ffb467b
* Fix bug in 43d7f5a5d0
* [cleanup] Remove unnecessary `utf-8` from `str.encode`/`bytes.decode`
* [utils] LazyList: Expose unnecessarily "protected" attributes
and other minor cleanup
Using https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade
1. `__future__` imports and `coding: utf-8` were removed
2. Files were rewritten with `pyupgrade --py36-plus --keep-percent-format`
3. f-strings were cherry-picked from `pyupgrade --py36-plus`
Extractors are left untouched (except removing header) to avoid unnecessary merge conflicts
* All modules and binary names are changed
* All documentation references changed
* yt-dlp no longer loads youtube-dlc config files
* All URLs changed to point to organization account

If the test was run before the YoutubeIE tests (for example by running
"nosetests -v test/test_compat.py test/test_download.py -m 'Youtube_1|compat_expand'"),
it wrote the signatures cache to the 'C:\Documents and Settings\тест\Application Data' folder.
It failed due to a problem in the cache code and the write_json_file function (fixed in f03e33b89a622af13fa5275c46b63aaa4814c499)
utils is large enough without these compatibility functions.
Everything that is present in newer versions of Python (i.e. with dev Python it's just an import) goes into compat.py .
Everything else (i.e. youtube-dl-specific helpers) goes into utils.py .
