Add separate quality entry for iOS compatibility

The iOS-compatible video may not be the best quality. Add a separate quality option to accommodate people who want the best available versus the best compatible with iOS's strict requirements.

Testing with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiRMs5ZhcH4 where the best quality video is 2160p and not iOS-compatible.

With best quality, the VP9 video format is used (better quality but not iOS-compatible):

```

With "Best (iOS)" quality, the H264 video (lower quality but iOS-compatible) is used:

Included a README note about the new quality option.
