This PR provides support for filtering of videos being added from either Channel IDs or Playlist IDs similarly to what is requested in issue #69.
This is achieved by adding a new supported format for the Channel/Playlist/Keyword cell:
F:<title filter>|<channel or playlist id>
From the notes in issue #69 there was initially the suggestion to use getVideoIds() to achieve this using YouTube.Search.List at a cost of 100 API credits per 50 videos (due to maxResults 50) and provide the filter as part of that call. I have opted not to do so for the following reasons:

Happy to take any questions or criticism. Thanks for your work on the script!
