Bootstrapping FFmpeg

When working on the project locally, you can either use a global instance of FFmpeg (i.e. found on the system's PATH) or a local instance (found in the project directory). To use a local instance, place the corresponding ffmpeg (or ffmpeg.exe) file inside the YoutubeDownloader/ project directory. You can also automatically download FFmpeg for your current platform by running the DownloadFFmpeg.ps1 PowerShell script.
