Fix user-agent and referer for Innertube requests
Pull Request Type
Description
This pull request fixes the user-agent in the request payload not matching the user-agent header, as YouTube.js was chosing a random one for the request payload and also fixes the referer header for the session data request.
Thanks to @AudricV for discovering these inconsistencies.
Testing
Test a few videos and check that they play correctly. While I wasn't able to confirm if this fixes the IP block issue that users have been reporting, as I couldn't reproduce that issue myself, this should hopefully help the situation. If someone can confirm that this does solve the issue we can link it with a closes line.
