net-misc/straw-viewer-0.1.0 ebuild suggestion

Attached is an ebuild suggestion for straw-viewer. Gentoo already has youtube-viewer in its official repo, of which straw-viewer is a fork by the same developer. The reason for the fork is that an API key is needed to use YouTube's own API for the functionality provided by youtube-viewer, which is not easily available, and youtube-viewer's default API key has been disabled:
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer/issues/308
Straw-viewer, on the other hand, uses the invidio.us API which is openly accessible.
