Improve Scraper Matching System #368

Description

I've noticed that the scraper is getting hung up on special characters in file names, most notably things in parenthesis, brackets, and braces. This leaves things such as versions and country codes in the scraping text, leading to fail to find matches.

Additionally, may I suggest adding integration with IGDB as a database? It tends to have much less rate limiting than ScreenScraper, and even includes some entries they don't have. Applications like Daijisho use it as their primary scraper.
