Description of your pull request and other information
See #11991: When Shorts are accessed e. g. through the Shorts subscriptions feed and with --flat-playlist, there is no title available since the property for that is not present. The full title is contained within the present accessibilityText property though, so it is attempted to extract it from there. A test of 2000 feed entries with various types of titles and view counts resulted in 100% recovered titles. Not sure how to approach adding actual test cases for this yet.
