Add "is_live" field in /channels endpoint response
Currently, the only API endpoint which can return the current status of the channel is /search/channels, which contains a "is_live" boolean attribute.
So when I want to know if a channel (knowing its ID) is live through the API, the only way is by calling /channels first to get the channel name, then by calling /search/channels with the channel name, and finally sort the results to find the correct channel.
This is excessively time and ressources consuming, for both developpers and Twitch servers (two API call instead of just one). Would be great to add a "is_live" field in /channels endpoint
