This PR includes 4 commits:

[Add a settings screen with banners repo and Fixed output folder]

[Include game name in output folder name]

Before this change, the default output folder was being named after the id of the game. Added the actual game name in there so you know which game you're installing when later you select it in WUP installer on your Wii U.

[Use GameTDB for game name instead of internal game name]

Before this change, the internal game name is sometimes a bit awkward and wrongly capitalised, such as "PIKMIN2 for Wii " and "super mario collection" instead of Pikmin 2 and Super Mario All-Stars

[Try more alternative images from Cucholix banners repo]

When clicking on Download images from Cucholix and your image isn't found, before this change there was logic to try other regions by replacing the 4th letter of the game id with E, P and J. But sometimes it's not enough. Sometimes the id is completely different for the same game in a different region, and sometimes the name is different but the id has the same 3 first letters in the id but not the last 2. Examples include No more Heroes, Obscure 2, Metal Slug Anthology, Pandora's Tower, etc. The new logic tries to find these alternative ids by leveraging the GameTDB title list file.
