~/.bin/ydl.go: A tool to simplify downloading with youtube-dl

Written in Go because of url-escaping problems with bash.

It specifies the maximum resolution (720p), and sets the `--no-mtime`
option which makes the files easier to find for me.  (Otherwise
youtube-dl would use something like an "upload timestamp", which ended
up being really confusing.
