Fixes #6719

Twitch has changed/replaced their persisted GQL API query for getting the streaming access token. The new one also expects a new parameter, platform, which can be overridden via --twitch-access-token-param, just like the playerType one (e.g. "frontpage" instead of the default "embed", which sometimes prevents preroll ads).

Live, VOD and clips seem to be working:

Considering the timing of this change with breaking changes already merged into master and the significance of the Twitch plugin, this probably means that the 8.0.0 release needs to be done sooner. I don't expect many users installing pre-release builds or sideloading the updated plugin. Annoying...

The clips metadata seems to have moved to a different query. If this is the case (I couldn't find ClipsView or ClipsTitle), then this also requires an update of the validation schema. I'm therefore leaving this out for now and will fix this later.

Going to merge these important changes now.

Preview builds (Windows and Linux AppImages) will be triggered upon merge:

Otherwise, install from master via pip (or related tools):
