Add generic-mode URL validation and UI

Introduce a "generic_mode" option to allow validating/downloading from non-YouTube sites and wire it through the UI, config, and validation logic. Key changes:

- Add generic_mode default to ConfigManager and persist setting from DownloadSettingsDialog (checkbox + help text).
- Extend validate_video_url to accept a generic_mode flag and allow any http/https URL with a domain when enabled; pass this flag from Analysis and Download flows.
- Update YTSageApp to load/save generic_mode, update URL placeholder and settings tooltip behavior, and refresh tooltip when settings change.
- Improve robustness in FormatTableMixin: handle None/incorrect types for format_note, abr, resolution, ext, and codec values to avoid type errors and ensure consistent display.
- Add localization entries for generic mode, placeholder, and related help text across multiple language files and update the in-app default localization strings.

These changes enable broader site support via yt-dlp while hardening UI format handling and keeping user settings persistent.
