enhance config to choose bank account in question? #40

Hi,

I just started using firefly-iii recently, because I never got into it. I had tried the csv importer and it never quite worked for me, but when I found the firefly-iii-fints-importer by accident, I decided to give it another shot - and it worked perfectly :)

However, just now after using it for a few weeks, I had an idea I wanted to suggest, perhaps it might be of interest for other users as well...

Would it be possible to add parameters to the configuration? For example, my ING-DIBA bank account currently displays two different accounts when I try to import from it. It always chooses the first one by default (which is the savings account that I need to import the least) and wants to import it to bargeld (cash). However, I'd like to map it similar to this

{
  "bank_username": "my_username",
  "bank_password": "my_password",
  "bank_code": "yeahyeah",
  "bank_url": "https://hbci11.fiducia.de/cgi-bin/hbciservlet",
  "bank_2fa": "944",
  "firefly_url": "",
  "firefly_access_token": "",
####### ADDED THIS #######
####### key would be the bank account DETECTED BY firefly-iii-fints-importer
####### value would be the corresponding account INSIDE firefly-iii
  "account_mapping": {
    "4552202": "IBAN259304709374552202",
    "4552203": "IBAN234235244334552203"
  }
}

So that it would automatically import each bank account to it's corresponding account inside of firefly-iii. Hopefully, I explained this alright (English is not my first language). I don't have the programming skills to do this, but perhaps anybody else would be interested in this as well and might make a pr for this feature (or perhaps it's even interesting to the creator?)...

Either way, thank you for this tool. It is the only reason I finally started using firefly-iii and even though it's just been a few weeks, I wouldn't want to miss it!

I have more or less the same request. I need to manually link three real bank accounts to the three accounts in Firefly. If there is such a solution to map them in the configuration, it should be easy to automate the import process via a cron job if I'm right.
