Open every video in new window for Freetube instead of same.

This needs to be done since it replaces the existing playing video. I think it is possible to do so by apply --new-window kind of flag since it uses Electron as its engine.

I saw a similar closed issue that said it wasn't possible due to a limitation in freetube (#839). Luckily I just checked and as of literally just 2 hours ago the feature was added (FreeTubeApp/FreeTube#6455) (only in the dev branch so it's not available to most people right now but it should be in the next release) so this issue should now be doable.

Edit: maybe not as I think freetube still opens links in an existing window by default and I don't know if you can change that behavior in an extension

Edit 2: as it turns out while not being something that can be implemented in the extension, an option to always open redirected links in a new window was added to freetube directly (FreeTubeApp/FreeTube#6242), it is, again, currently only in the dev branch so if you want it you should either compile from source or just wait until the app is updated. In either case there is nothing the extension developers can do so this issue should be closed.

It's not our issue to track though.
