Describe the bug
I haven't used my session in days or more, and I believe it's going to refresh the token, but (with version 1.5.2 and also experienced on 1.4.2), I'm getting the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sean/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/spotify2ytmusic--SB_8d7f-py3.10/bin/s2yt_list_playlists", line 6, in <module>
    sys.exit(list_playlists())
  File "/home/sean/projects/spotify_to_ytmusic/spotify2ytmusic/cli.py", line 22, in list_playlists
    yt = backend.get_ytmusic()
  File "/home/sean/projects/spotify_to_ytmusic/spotify2ytmusic/backend.py", line 27, in get_ytmusic
    return YTMusic("oauth.json")
  File "/home/sean/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/spotify2ytmusic--SB_8d7f-py3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ytmusicapi/ytmusic.py", line 139, in __init__
    self._token = RefreshingToken(
TypeError: RefreshingToken.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'filepath'

The RefreshingToken() is getting created with a self._input_dict that contains a "filepath": "oauth.json" element.

If I remove the filepath from the dict, it seems to succeed, but I don't know the code well enough to know if that's a bit naive.

Adding above the "RefreshingToken" above (ytmusic.py line 139) which reads:

if 'filepath' in self._input_dict:
    del(self._input_dict['filepath'])

Seemed to work for me.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Login with ytmusicapi.
Wait for oauth to time out.
Do YTMusic("oauth.json")

_input_dict is what you're passing in via oauth.json

Fix your oauth.json to not contain filepath and you're good to go

There is no "filepath" in my "oauth.json", and if there were it is not something that I would have put in there, I created it with "ytmusicapi oauth".
