…station extraction
YouTube changed the webpage format for embedding BotGuard attestation data
from `window.ytAtR = '...'` to `window.ytAtN({..., R: '...', ...})`.
This commit ports the fix from Brainicism#195:
- Add primary regex for `window.ytAtN(...)` format, extracting the `R` property
- Keep `window.ytAtR = ...` as fallback for the legacy format
- Bump plugin version from 1.2.2 to 1.3.0
