Adding NymphCast support

[MayaPosch]

I recently got a request on my NymphCast project to add casting support to FreeTube, as this would allow casting of FreeTube content to a device running NymphCast: MayaPosch/NymphCast#45

At its core, NymphCast is essentially an open-source (BSD 3-clause) alternative to solutions like ChromeCast and Roku. Integrating it into FreeTube would probably require the writing of a Node.JS wrapper for the native libnymphcast library, as suggested in the above linked ticket.

Would this be a feature that the FreeTube developers might be interested in adding? If so, I would be more than happy to assist with the integration.

We currently have a fairly large and ever growing backlog of things that we'd like to work on, so I'm not sure if it's something that we'd be able to directly work on any time soon. The project sounds interesting though and I'd be interested in potentially seeing it integrated within FreeTube.

For myself to consider a proper implementation, I'd like to see it working cross platform. I see that Mac may not be fully functional yet so that'd potentially cause a problem with fully integrating it. I'd still possibly accept a PR without Mac support however that is something that I'd like to see along with it if possible. I didn't look too hard about Mac support though so if I'm incorrect with anyone then feel free to mention it.

While I wouldn't be able to directly work on this for a while, I'm more than happy to help out with answering any questions about our code base that you or someone else may have. I'm fairly active on our Matrix server so that'd likely be the best place if you'd like to have a proper discussion about it.
