Add support for scraping game manuals from screenscraper.fr

[jmt-gh]

Describe the feature / request
Screenscraper.fr hosts game manuals in addition to all of the other media it hosts. It would be great to be able to scrape this.

Additional context
Use case: Some retro games can be really esoteric! Having the manuals available would be great. I use Skyscraper to do all of my meta data scraping, so being able to leverage my existing workflow would be great instead of having to find a new one.

The response from the URL that gets generated here in screepscraper.cpp already contains the URLs for the game manuals (called manuels). It is available under ['response']['jeu']['medias']. From there, in the individual item, they are identified by type ['manuel'], with the resource itself being available at ['url']. The ones that I have spot checked so far are all .pdf files.

I have minimal c++ experience, but I was able to get this up and running by duplicating a lot (basically all) of the functionality that exists for the video download feature. I'll open up a PR with the change soon, though I expect it isn't necessarily up to par.

@jmt-gh there is another fork of Skyscraper (linked below) that is accepting pull requests and under current development.

https://github.com/detain/skyscraper

You should post your changes there.

@HVR88 The problem here is not that there is a PR that is not accepted, but that there is no PR and no commit on the fork either. So no publicly available change on this topic.

My reply was directed at the issue author in hopes he publishes the PR somewhere/anywhere. 😉
