Organize folders by title instead of by bundle #43

It would be great to have the option to not create folders for each bundle and instead create them based on the title of the thing.

Instead of Downloaded Library/Purchase Name/Item Name/downloaded_file.ext you'd just get Downloaded Library/Item Name/downloaded_file.ext.

Right now you can end up downloading the same files twice if you have the same content in multiple bundles.

After downloading, I got 50 duplicate files, wasting 7.5GB (as shown by fdupes -rm .). After removing the duplicates (fdupes -rdN .), the size went down from 45GB to 38GB.

The current directory structure is wasteful: using 20% more space (and 20% more download, and 20% more time) than it would have if the directories were shallower to a single level.

Alternatively the directory layout could remain the same and the downloads could be de-duped by the sha in the library JSON. When the same file is present in other bundles/titles it could hard linked (when supported) to the first copy.

I'd also prefer such a flat structure and also some metadata, like checksums, day of purchase if available, the bundles it was "retrieved" by (as a replacement for the changed structure) etc. The .cache.json could be used for this (maybe renamed to hb_repository.json or so). An option to reuse already existing data downloaded to transform the "repository" fast would be nice.

I wish there was a template string naming configuration parameter. Something customizable, so we can each organize how we please.

My preference would be: "$bundle/$format/$itemName.$format"

I'm sure there's a good reason it's organized by bundle right now, but as a user I could care less about which bundle each game was a part of. I just want to see the titles. In fact in my experience, it's downright obstructive to finding anything in the directory.
