Fix 6 dead RAI channels via a working third-party mirror

Browse Source

mediapolis.rai.it's relinker service is now Italy-IP-gated: with
forceUserAgent it 302s to a "video not available" placeholder MP4
(the "raw binary" symptom this repo's checker was seeing), without it
Akamai returns a plain 403. RAI's own official pages (raiplay.it) still
embed the same dead relinker pattern, and no working parameter/domain
variant was found - this isn't a broken link, it's a geo-restriction
that happens to also break for the CI runner's non-Italian IP.

Found a third-party CDN mirror (d3k8wzt41aflvx.cloudfront.net) already
re-serving RAI's linear feeds unrestricted, in the same vein as the
existing Rai4K/UniNettuno akamaized.net mirrors already in this list.
Verified each with curl (multi-quality master playlist, real segment
references) and with check_channels.py (3x each): Rai 2/3/Premium/
Storia/Scuola came back consistently alive, Rai 1 flaky (2/3 ok, real
content each time) - consistent with general CDN flakiness elsewhere
in this list, not a sign the URL is wrong.

Dropped the Ⓖ marker on these 6 since the mirror isn't geo-blocked.

Rai 4, Rai 5, Rai Movie, Rai Gulp, Rai YoYo, Rai Sport, and Rai Radio 2
Visual Radio are not on this mirror and were left unchanged (still
pointing at the geo-gated relinker, since that's genuinely the current
official source and may still work for viewers with an Italian IP).
