Fix extracting the subscriber count from channel PageHeader nodes
Pull Request Type
Description
This pull request fixes the error that randomly appears when refreshing subscriptions (it's part of the PageHeader node on user channels A/B test, which we added support for in #4543)
The issue was caused by YouTube changing the position of the subscriber count in the arrays, which causes an error because it no longer exists where the code was looking for it. To avoid that happening again, I decided to search for the subscriber count instead of hardcoding the array indexes. Unfortunately that means that we have another part of the local API extractor that depends on a language specific string in YouTube's response.
Testing
Refresh your subscriptions with the local API without RSS, you shouldn't see any error messages appear anymore.
