asbplayer-extension v0.20.0

It is highly recommended to upgrade to this version of the extension as it includes the Manifest V3 upgrade which will be enforced by Chrome in 2023. This means all previous versions of the extension will no longer work some time in 2023.

• Enhancement: No longer need to click check mark button to apply time range selection to the sentence field.
• Enhancement: Update availability check.
• Enhancement: Language preferences for auto-detected subtitles are saved per-site (i.e. separated between YouTube and Netflix).

• Bug fix: Auto-pause works even if subtitles are not being displayed.
• Bug fix: Update-last-card keyboard shortcut respects audio-encoding preference.
