yt_data_extract.common: Simplify usage of get functions and remove dead code

Change usage of multi_deep_get to multi_get where possible
Remove checking of type from calls to get functions (because it's very unlikely Youtube suddenly changes the type without changing the name of the variable or anything, and it takes up unnecessary space)
Remove all default=None arguments from get functions, since those are superflous.
Remove list_types constant since it's no longer in use.
