Automatic rename of ROMs #8

Have glint-es look for a file (something like rom-names) that contain a list of known ROM shasum values, and their associated game name.

When this file is present, have it check the shasum values of ROMs that are present, and rename the ROMs to user-friendly game names instead of system-friendly filenames.

If this were implemented, consider whether glint-es do this automatically, or whether it should only be triggered by a menu option.

I'm more on the side of "just do it if the SHA value matches - we know for sure it's the correct ROM file", but on the other hand if someone wants to rename a ROM file by hand, this automatic thing might undo the user's work.

Maybe only do automatic renames of ROMs when it is copied off of a USB stick, thereby eliminating the need for a bunch of manual renaming, but allowing the user to enter a custom name if they wanted to.
