plugins.tf1: implement authentication

[BellezaEmporium]

Resolves #5379

This PR is aimed to provide authentification basis for the website TF1.fr. A step forward would be to check the user subscriptions, as now certain streams might be pay-per-view, under the TF1MAX subscription plan. The answer is the same as if you're not logged in, will answer "Permission insuffisante".

With recommendations from @bastimeyer earlier on, on issue 5379, I've rewrote the plugin to make sure it suits the standards.

[bastimeyer]

Thanks for the PR.

I'm just going to comment on the code. I currently don't have time to check the site and validate your plugin changes, including anything related to authentication and HTTP requests+responses.

There are also tons of linting issues which you'll have to fix. Please have a look at this short guide:
https://streamlink.github.io/developing.html

Also one question since I'm unaware of the account restrictions: the plugin covers multiple sites. Is authentication required for of them?

[BellezaEmporium]

Thanks for the comments. I'll get through them one by one and fix the necessary issues.

As for the current restrictions, tf1.fr contains all channels from their group (TF1, TMC, TFX, LCI, TF1 Séries Films, except TV Breizh.) and some other FAST channels created for their occasions.

All of them right now needs to have an IP located in France and a valid account to get access to their streams.

[BellezaEmporium]

I've rewrote the plugin based on your recommendations. Last commit should reflect all required changes.

[bastimeyer]

I force-pushed onto your PR branch because I decided to clean up the remaining issues myself and make a couple more changes.

• Fixed linting and code style issues
• Fixed missing $account plugin-metadata
• Fixed error handling
• Fixed validation schemas
• Fixed auth logic issues
• Renamed --tf1-username to --tf1-email
• Added token caching and --tf1-purge-credentials

---

Authentication is only required on tf1.fr. The other sites work fine, even without a French IP address:

[bastimeyer]

The cache currently doesn't set an expiration time/date, but it's not really important...

Going to merge this now.

[BellezaEmporium]

Perfect, thanks for going further in this PR. Interesting, thought they would enforce it everywhere. I consider myself corrected.

[octavioj]

This is wonderful. Which version of streamlink will have this modification, if I may ask?

[bastimeyer]

6.7.4+1.g7adb5b12
https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/commits/master/

[octavioj]

Thank you.

[campones]

I tested few hours ago the beta release from yesterday, works perfectly

well not the beta release, the nightly build

[octavioj]

It works wonderfully with liveproxy too. Excellent.

[campones]

@octavioj sorry for the off topic but what's the point to use this liveproxy exactly?

[BellezaEmporium]

That's not the correct place to talk about this I believe.

[campones]

probably not. anyway, good job guys, has been quite a long way but result is outstanding ;)
