Create a GamesDB auto scraper using hashing to fetch by ID.

Issue #297 invalid

Available on emulationstation.More precise than searching with rom file name.

new scraper. It works best if you turn off the "user decides on conflict" option. The first time it runs it downloads a hash.tsv file and loads it into memory then starts hashing roms and getting the metadata by id.

    Very cool, I remember hearing about that code a while back. Thanks for adding it here, agreed that it would be a good addition.

    We don't use GamesDB anymore and the searching is more sophisticated. Now that we control the platform things should start to get better.
