Subject: [PATCH] fix: enable yt-dlp browser impersonation for TikTok

TikTok now answers requests without a real browser TLS fingerprint with a
page yt-dlp cannot parse, so every TikTok extraction failed at the metadata
step. yt-dlp can impersonate browsers, but only when curl_cffi is installed
on the interpreter it runs on, which the image never provided.
