YouTube switched to using content-bound poToken, i.e. the poToken is generated for each video using the video's ID. This fixes issues, where the server would respond with 403, as the previously generated poToken was no longer valid. Ref: FreeTubeApp/FreeTube#8137

Description
It seem 403 occurs again due to YT switching to video bound poToken (instead of visitorData bound poToken)
This PR just makes local API use former for all stuff now (the latter is no longer used)
