GOG Galaxy integration for Crackwatch

This plugin allows you to list as owned all the AAA titles marked as cracked on crackwatch.com in your GOG Galaxy 2.0 launcher.

You can use this integration to keep an eye on the game cracking scene, keep track of games you do not currently own and you previously played or want to play in the future.

Crackwatch currently lists a total of 17796 cracked games of which 1189 are AAA.
Due to there being so many listed cracked games, the GOG client would continuously crash when trying to import over 17k games, therefore I decided to focus this project on AAA titles only
