More advanced transponder database fetching options #51

Closed bjorgan closed 7 years ago

bjorgan commented 7 years ago

49 will give a basic implementation of transponder database fetching, but will overwrite the user's existing database by writing directly to the assumed DB path. It should rather merge, compare entries, give option to force overwriting, ensure that everything is written to the directory as defined internally in flyby, give option for trying to write to system-wide directory, etc.

This can be done by implementing extra command line options similar to flyby's --update-tle-db, to be applied to a fetched database file saved to a temporary file.

Will probably be more complex, add additional transponder database CLI utility.
