Add support for a configurable GitHub Personal Access Token to avoid API rate limiting (60 req/hr unauthenticated -> 5,000 req/hr authenticated). - Add github_token field to settings_t struct - Add JSON serialization/deserialization for github_token - Add optional token parameter to util::get_inet_res() - Send Authorization header for all GitHub API requests when token is set - Pass conf.github_token in all 8 GitHub API calls (gui.cpp) Users can add "github_token": "ghp_..." to ytdlp-interface.json Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
