Add alternative option to the embed-only error

Browse Source 
For example, running:

```
youtube-dl https://player.vimeo.com/video/356169265
```

outputs:

> [vimeo] 356169265: Downloading webpage
> ERROR: Cannot download embed-only video without embedding URL. Please call
>   youtube-dl with the URL of the page that embeds this video.

Following the instructions and running:

```
youtube-dl https://www.raywenderlich.com/4720178-ios-accessibility-tutorial-making-custom-controls-accessible
```

outputs:

> [RayWenderlichCourse] 4720178-ios-accessibility-tutorial-making-custom-controls-accessible:
>   Downloading webpage
> [download] Downloading playlist: iOS Accessibility Tutorial: Making Custom
>   Controls Accessible
> [RayWenderlichCourse] playlist iOS Accessibility Tutorial: Making Custom
>   Controls Accessible: Collected 0 video ids (downloading 0 of them)
> [download] Finished downloading playlist: iOS Accessibility Tutorial: Making
>   Custom Controls Accessible

And only this works:

```
youtube-dl https://player.vimeo.com/video/356169265 --referer \
"https://www.raywenderlich.com/4720178-ios-accessibility-tutorial-making-custom-controls-accessible"
```
