Add option to scan barcodes of products #25

The basic idea is to use Privacy Friendly QR Scanner via intent to add products to the shopping list by scanning a bar code. I guess some investigation is required to find out whether we would have to use the Internet permission to implement this feature. In case we would need the Internet permission, the feature should not be integrated into the application.

👍 I too would like to see this feature implemented. I would love to be able to save products into some database at first then scan them every other visit to the store and have them automatically added to the list with the price preserved.

I do not care about product lookups online. So for my use case the internet would not be required. I just want to use the barcode as an identifier for the product I have already manually filled out the information for in the past. Although this may be outside the scope of a traditional shopping list it would be nice to use it to track items in my cart to know if I am still under budget or not.
