Feature description

Allow refreshing a remote playlist at any time manually to fetch current videos in it (e.g. by dragging down in the playlist itself like you do for the subscriptions page as well)

Why do you want this feature?

I import music playlist urls from youtube so i can listen to them in newpipe and adding a new song to the youtube playlist takes ages to appear in the newpipe one.
This issue from 2019 was closed by the author because they were fine with either deleting metadata everytime to force a refresh or just waiting "a night" but that seems like a bad workaround.

Additional information

If there is an already existing normal way to do this I apologize but I feel like i looked thoroughly in the app and couldnt find anything other than "delete metadata", "wait" or "delete and reimport playlist".

I'm also on 0.23.3 if that matters
