Adds a new entry in the Common YouTube Errors section of this Wiki page dealing a temporary CDN / playback ban caused by YouTube rate limit / API violations.

It provides a description of the error, an explanation of the causes, some limited mention of potential mitigations, and preventative measures in line with yt-dlp best practices.

This is a result of significant research on my part (definitely not after being subjected to said ban..), as well as conferring with several yt-dlp experts.
