[Enhancement] Enable/disable toggles for "enhanced" audio (stable volume) and video (AI-upscaled aka "Super resolution") #5572

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would seem that Invidious currently treats the AI-upscaled "Super resolution" formats identically to the traditional normal resolutions, thereby also having no indication that this is the case unless the viewer refers to the actual YouTube player.

Now I don't know how Invidious handles the "stable volume" audio formats if at all, but in the same vain it too is indicated and can even be toggles on/off in the YouTube player but there's zero indication as to what Invidious is doing audio-wise.

Describe the solution you'd like
Just two simple check boxes on the preferences page for Enable stable volume audio formats and Enable AI-upscaled "Super resolution" video formats or the like.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I suppose they could be consolidated into a single checkbox that enables/disables both the stable volume and AI-upscaed "Super resolution" formats, but the use-case for either is rather different after all...

Similarly there's the idea that AI-upscaled "Super resolution" video formats could simply be visually indicated but never get automatically selected.

Additional context
Corresponding thread for yt-dlp which is what brought my attention to it:

The following is an example video with this AI-upscaled "Super resolution" (taken from said above thread):
