get_album() now returns None for 'audioPlaylistId'

Discussed in #742

I think Google changed the API regarding library albums -- seems like the 'audioPlaylistId' is coming back empty.

import ytmusicapi

yt_auth = ytmusicapi.YTMusic("./browser.json")
album = yt_auth.get_album("MPREb_DGkmQAs9Umk")
print(album["audioPlaylistId"])

This prints None for the few albums I've tried.

Didn't want to write it as a bug because I'm not sure yet if it's just a temporary issue or if they changed something in the API that's going to require a fix. Just wanted to point out what I'm seeing and if anybody else noticed it. Must have just happened in the last 24hrs.

@apastel I've linked a potential fix

But the same fix fails on CI, so I'm not 100% confident it is rolled out for everyone yet

@cispe please don't comment unrelated questions. Feel free to create a separate issue or question if you think something is not working as intended

I'm now also seeing this (in Germany, in case that's relevant)
