report-video: a clip may override the burned-in title and date

The header prints the upload date of the ARCHIVED copy, which for a VOD
mirror is often years after the stream. A clip entry may now carry `date`
(the stream's own YYYY-MM-DD) and `title` (a display title); both absent
reproduces the old line byte for byte.
