[extractor/youtube] Add `no-youtube-prefer-utc-upload-date` compat option (#4771)

This option reverts https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/992f9a730b49fd36fc422be8d802f98ebcdce418 and https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/17322130a954577bb03b833d5c435638e51e19f2 to prefer the non-UTC upload date in microformats.
