Cross platform CLI Client

This is a cross platform client that can do the main functions of the program without a GUI. It works on Windows and Linux, haven't tested it on MacOS though.
Some documentation here, for example, you could copy/paste this into a .bat file on Windows and you can download a VOD, download chat, then render it in a single go. I've never really made a command line utility before, so things may change in the future. If you're on Linux, make sure fontconfig and libfontconfig1 are installed.
