I think we should make mpv's youtube-dl feature work by default instead
of requiring the user to install youtube-dl into their profile.
That being said if, for some reason, someone does not want to update mpv
and still use a newer version of youtube-dl, they can do so by linking
the youtube-dl binary into mpv's config dir (by default: ~/.config/mpv).
