Different set and set number information source #25

Currently we take this data from YGO Prices and basically the program considers that whatever comes from them are the only currently existing cards.

However, they do not provide data about OCG cards and I suspect there are other cards missing as well, such as Tokens.

I feel like we should treat YGO Prices only as a price source and get card data from the Wikia or, alternatively, from the official YuGiOh database website (although I'm not sure if they'd like that and if we can actually do it).

This will also make it easier to get prices from multiple sources later.

I (re)discovered www.db.yugioh-card.com. Initially it was easier to consume YGO Prices' API, this is why I did not want to scrape the official database.

However, considering that we need to get all the cards in the system, including FR, IT, etc, not only OCG and EN, I decided that this will be the primary data source.

Hopefully Konami won't have anything against it.
