Reminder about Video DownloadHelper 7 and Firefox 57

Some users still complain about some feature regressions in Video DownloadHelper 7 when compared to version 6, and the requirement to install a companion application in
situations where this was not mandatory. So, we'll explain again what happened.

When Mozilla released Firefox 57 (a.k.a Firefox Quantum) on 11/14/2017, this came with a major change: the original API (i.e the way an add-on "lives" within the browser) was
removed and replaced by a new one called WebExtensions as it is in Chrome. Unfortunately this new interface is very restricted compared to the previous one and lacks a
number of services that are required for Video DownloadHelper to do the job.

Many Firefox add-on authors decided to give up and not make the move to WebExtensions. We made an other choice and decided to continue providing the service to our users
by whatever mean was technically possible, rewriting almost entirely our extension.

WebExtensions o�ers a clean way to run dedicated external applications and communicate with them in background. We used this to create a companion app that provides the
now missing services, mainly �le manipulations and unrestricted downloads. We made this app open-source (https://github.com/mi-g/vdhcoapp) to ensure transparency, and it
is now required to use it for some features like HLS downloads where it could previously be performed entirely from within the add-on.

Thank you for reading that far, you are an awesome person !
