Please also test a normal channel like https://www.youtube.com/@YouTube just to make sure I didn't break anything.

Use auto-generated playlists for the videos tab on artist topic channels

Description
Various users have asked about being able to see the videos on artist topic channels and each time I've had to point out that YouTube doesn't show them on the channels, so we can't either.
However I have since discovered that despite YouTube not displaying a videos tab on those artist topic channels, the auto-generated uploads playlists still exist, so we are able to show the videos tab and populate it with content from those playlists. YouTube doesn't have auto-generated playlists sorted by oldest, so we can only offer sorting by newest and popularity on those channels.
We already supported showing content from those channels on the subscriptions page if you used RSS as we already use those playlists for RSS, but without RSS the subscriptions page acted like the channels didn't have any uploads as the videos tab is missing, this pull request also adds the playlist logic to the subscriptions page.
Please note that Invidious doesn't support those artist topic channels and returns a HTTP 500 error when you visit one of them, so this pull request is just for the local API.

Test those two channels with the local API on both the channel and subscriptions pages (Invidious returns HTTP 500 for artist topic channels)
Please also test a normal channel like https://www.youtube.com/@YouTube just to make sure I didn't break anything.
