importfeed --force: Don't treat it as a failure when an already downloaded
file exists. (Fixes a behavior change introduced in 10.20230626.)
04ee6c4c6b caused the reversion. Inside a CommandPerform, stop causes it
to fail. Before that commit, it was inside a CommandStart, where stop
causes it to skip.
Which uses yt-dlp to screen scrape the equivilant of an RSS feed.
Note that youtubedlscraped is a speed optimisation. Since yt-dlp found
the urls, we know it can download them. That avoids calling
youtubeDlSupported on each url, which makes --fast a lot faster.
Almost all the same metadata fields and file formatting fields are
populated, when yt-dlp is able to get the data. Note that yt-dlp has some
additional useful metadata that could be exposed. But, much of it is
specific to particular websites, and it would be hard to document on the
git-annex importfeed man page.

The getSocket comment that mentioned using ":port"
in the hostname seems to have been incorrect or be out of date.
After all, the bug report came when the user first tried doing that,
and it didn't work.
