Load youtube's auto-translated subtitles #460
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Youtube generates "auto-translate" subtitles, but I cannot choose them in ASBPlayer's dropdown.
I would like to select these auto-translated subtitles for track 2 / dual subs in ASBPlayer.
Describe the solution you'd like
Expose these auto-translated subtitle languages as an option in ASBPlayer's "Load subtitles" dropdown.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Somehow downloading these subs manually and drag-and-dropping them into ASBPlayer.
Additional context
I've been using this browser extension which automatically loads and displays dual subtitles on YouTube.

It does this even for videos which only list one subtitle language because it downloads YouTube's "auto-generated" subtitles, too.
This is great, except it doesn't have any of ASBPlayer's other features.
It would be great if ASBPlayer had the option of loading these auto-translated subtitles as dual subs / track 2.
I believe this is the code where it detects user subs in the desired language first, then falls back to auto-generated: https://github.com/ttop32/MouseTooltipTranslator/blob/c888f621d0286fa887d911f0f878cad58ddb3fe2/src/subtitle/youtube.js#L133-L143
I don't need ASBPlayer to do anything magical, but it would be nice if these auto-generated subs were somehow available in ASBPlayer's dropdown.
