Feature Suggestion: Enable TitleDB sync from Ownfoil to Tinfoil #255

Description

@HarleyBartles

The titleDB in Ownfoil is kept up to date well. The one in tinfoil is often outdated and doesn't update itself properly - in fact it resets an up to date json to some old version which doesn't have a lot of the latest releases. This leads to a bunch of newer games showing up under their title id in tinfoil when Ownfoil has no problem identifying them.

The url that tinfoil gets its titledb updates from is defined in options.json. Users can modify their options.json file to point titledb updates somewhere else than the default location (which periodically resets the local version to some old version).

I propose to serve ownfoil's up to date titledb json from an ownfoil endpoint and create a "options fixer" form where users can upload their options.json and receive in return the same file but with the titledb update pointing to ownfoil's titledb json endpoint. On saving this back to their memory card, tinfoil should get its titledb updates from the up to date version in ownfoil.

Adding this issue for reference when I get around to doing it. In the meantime, let me know if there's something I haven't considered around this - or indeed if this is not a desirable feature.
