M3U8 Support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I always get frustrated when I want to download streaming videos but can't download them at Motrix speed. This limits the ability to save and watch videos offline.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like support for M3U8 protocol in Motrix, enabling users to input M3U8 URLs and download video segments like http file segments.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I use yt-dlp, but its download speed leaves much to be desired
Additional context
M3U8 uses chunks, which is similar to the concept of a download manager
If your m3u8 file contains only a single video, you can use ffmpeg to download the video. (like ffmpeg -i "URL" -ac copy -vc copy "output")
If your m3u8 file contains more than one videos, you can use text editor to open it, copy URLs to download.
and you can use wget to download HTTP file. (like wget url). But Motrix is faster
