Extended Get Clips Parameters
Currently the Get Clip endpoint (/clips) is really plain, and not in a really good way. If we could make more complex queries, that would reduce the number of requests we need to make; therefore, less load on Twitch API itself. If I want 50 English clips from the top clips of a single game, let's say League of Legends, I will have to make 3 requests, ignore those that aren't English, and finally list the top 50. But if I can query a game's top clips, AND the language, I can get those 50 clips all in one request. Adding even more optional parameters can help developers get more precisely what they want, in less requests. Win-win situation for both, developers and Twitch API's load.

The numbers (50 English clips, 3 requests) are arbitrary, just for example purposes
