Scrape game features

Overwolf is an ever expanding and improving ecosystem. From time to time they add support for new games or new info/events in existing games. To make it easier for this app to stay up to date, a scraper has been implemented to export an updates list of interestingFeatures to be used in src/consts.ts.

Just run the VSCode task Scrape game features, copy them and paste to the src/consts.ts.

Then copy the list of game IDs and put the new values in all the relevant fields of public/manifest.json
