Added Retrogaming.cloud grid provider

wranders commented 7 years ago

This aims to replace ConsoleGrid with Retrogaming.cloud as the grid image provider. Has worked as intended on every ROM I've tested so far.

Two items to note, could be considered drawbacks associated with RG.C:

Games have to be named exactly as the appear on the site. RG.C allows special characters that are not allowed in file paths, so a ROM name omitting a colon as a separator will fail to match (Eg.). This may be worked around by not using a literal search, but that seems to bring up many unrelated results.
RG.C has an unspecified request rate limit. It appears to be around 150 per minute, but since 2 requests are required to retrieve the image URL, that number is half. Testing shows 70-80 ROM queries before the limit is triggered for an unspecified cool-down.

Hi, this is exactly what I've been waiting. Can you please tell me if there is somewhere I can download a compiled version of ice with this pull request included? Thanks

Closing this request and reopening it since the HEAD will be changing on my fork.

@technobone I haven't been able to get Ice to compile recently, so as soon as I figure that out, I'll probably post up a zip of it on my fork.

Ok, thanks for the hard work.
