Parse licenses

[Revadike]

Parse the licenses page just like userdata is being used. This allows you to do all kinds of fun stuff. Some ideas:

• Show license acquire date on /sub SteamDB pages (and steam store pages)
• Show what games you got during each sale history
• Show stats, like the ones possible from your license parser
• Likewise, show account value over time in /calculator
• Cross-reference owned packages and licenses, to submit package name suggestions to SteamDB (encrypted?) for unknown packages, and if enough people submit it, you can display it as an unconfirmed name?
• Have a purchase date column in your games tables on the /calculator page

How to cross-reference license and package:

1. If known to SteamDB or packagedetails API, simply match license name with SteamDB/packagedetails package name.
2. If unknown to SteamDB or packagedetails API:
   1. Get list of owned apps.
   2. Exclude apps from packages that are known to SteamDB.
   3. For each unknown app, request:

      https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGameIssue/?appid=APPID&issueid=123&sessionid=SESSIONID&wizard_ajax=1

   4. Find the license/package name, appid and subid in the response

License page has no subids. As for stats I think AS does that already?

I don't use AS. Also I solved the problem for no subids in license page, please read...

I'm not going to spam the help site with requests to figure out which package is which.

I should only be a small portion of the licenses, I reckon. Besides, you haven't shy away from spamming steam before, just look at the free packages script for example.
