Problem
To remove a video from a local playlist you have two options:
- enable the selection mode (button at top right corner), select the video and choose delete.
- long press on the video and choose delete at the bottom of everything.
While it is harder to accidentally delete a video, it is not really convenient
Proposed behavior
Add an option to delete a video from a local playlist with a swipe (left and/or right)

Also the risk of accidental deletes could be solved by making a notification pop up at the bottom of the screen with an "Undo" option.

Although it is much easier to remove videos from Watch Later, the same gesture could be added here as well. In the end, #1454 adds swipe to delete to Downloads.
