Feature: Self-hosted sync server #79

When the time is possible, it would be desirable to have some form of OPTIONAL sync server that you can configure within the app, such an addition should facilitate the following features:

Option to specify custom Open Food Facts server
Sync user profiles across devices
(Optional additional feature on-top of this) Web interface

If these features could be added it would be much appreciated! If I find the free time I will attempt to implement such features myself if you do not have the time to get around to it.

A button where you can start the server and can access it locally through the web could be interesting.💪🏻

A very much needed feature, as having only locally with no sync options makes it really poor for if/when a device needs to be switched. Tagging the related issues #40 and #86.

Regarding a self-hosted option, make sure to accommodate for a fallback to local storage option in those cases when the sync server is unreachable. If so try to re-connect to the sync server in intervals or similar.
