Cherry picked from ui overhaul branch with a few modifications:
- channel folder is renamed to channels
- parsing for channel home and featured channels are removed due to
lack of infrastructure from other commits
(cherry picked from commit 44d18b8e14)
The behavior was as follow: on Right-To-Left text (e.g Arabic) that is wrapped
(because it's too long to fit on one line), the second row and following rows
may or may not be right aligned (as RTL text should be). Opening the devtools
fixes that alignement, as consistently as closing the devtool breaks it.
This problem seems to arrive only in the following configurations (link nested
in a paragraph, both of which may or may not have the dir= attribute):
* `<p><a href="some_link">RTL_TEXT</a></p>`
* `<p><a href="some_link" dir="auto">RTL_TEXT</a></p>`
* `<p dir="auto"><a href="some_link">RTL_TEXT</a></p>`
with the following CSS:
```
p {
unicode-bidi: plaintext;
text-align: start;
}
```
Changing the HTML to the following configuration (a paragraph with the dir=
attribute, nested in a link) seems to fix it:
`<a href="some_link"><p dir="auto">RTL_TEXT</p></a>`
This will prevent, on large pages, the LTR and RTL text to be
far away, on each side of the page. This could happen on channel
and playlists descriptions, when the page is displayed on a large
screen.
* Remove percent-encoding of the search query when calling youtube API, as it
breaks UTF-8
* Empty search redirects to /search, not /
* Show the fullscreen search "home page" (from #1977) at /search
* Allow 'region=' parameter to be passed to /search
* Other minor fixes
