Playlist context menu: "Open URL in browser" and "Copy URL" #2271

Description

@anohren

Actual behavior:

When I have loaded a playlist that contains http(s) items and right click on them I am sensibly not offered to show the file in Finder, but it would be a good idea to instead allow me to "Open in browser". Youtube-dl fails regularly since websites change all the time and break it. A quick workaround is to open that video in the default browser and watch it there.

There's also a need to be able to "Copy URL", since you then need the URL if you want to actually troubleshoot youtube-dl. You'd also need the URL if you just want to open it in another app than the default browser.

The only other ways to get the URL of a failed item is currently A) load the item and use the Inspector -- which is impossible since mpv either skips the item automatically, or worse just closes the window in your face -- or B) open your (possibly nonexistent) m3u file and find it by title.
