Add support for OPDS import

[aero31aero]

Hi, I'd like to propose adding OPDS import. In case you're unfamiliar with OPDS, its an XML based API for browsing library catalogues that makes it very simple to download books. You can read the full spec here but I'll show a dummy session below:

I run a calibre-web instance for my books, which exposes an api like:

$ curl https://calibre.example.com/opds/ # opds home-page
$ curl https://calibre.example.com/opds/language # lists the languages of books available
$ curl https://calibre.example.com/opds/language/3 # this happens to be my target lang and this page shows all my books in my target lang.

Any specific entry looks like this:

This would make importing books trivial (instead of downloading them locally and then uploading them), or also allow you to set up auto-import rules such that you set a language and all books in your catalog in that language get imported.

Hi!

This is a great idea! A lot of e-book platform support OPDS.

It will take a while for me to get to it, but I will definitely add support for this.

I'll have to add this to the user manual. It's better to not import text that you don't intend to read, because whenever you create a phrase, it will be indexed in every text you have imported.

Not sure at what point will this become an issue, I have 700+ phrases and 6~ books imported, and it is still functioning well.
