* pkgs/games: Add a basic fetcher for GOGaszlig2018-02-212-0/+282
We're in almost the same misery here as with HumbleBundle, because we can't get stable download URLs with manifests for games that have an "os" field of either "windows" or "osx". Unfortunately, this isn't the only hoop we're going to, because similar to the HumbleBundle fetcher, we need to solve a (re)captcha in order to login (and I've been annoyed by countless cars, street signs, roads, busses, store fronts, hills and mountains during development). I tried looking for a way to get an API key similar to what itch.io is doing, but the only mechanism in place is a temporary key which needs to be refreshed using the old key after a while, so it's unsuitable for our case. The code currently is very much _not_ DRY, because a lot of it is copied over and modified from fetchHumbleBundle, especially the captcha solving application. It's really a shame to see the same situation that we have for HumbleBundle in GOG, given that HB is getting less DRM-free games these days and GOG is DRM-free *only* (which is a very good thing).
