Fix or rewrite scraper engine and scrapers #259

Description

@dag7dev

Many years have passed since its first release.

Known demozoo bug:

  • it always select the first secondary mirror assuming that is from scene.org. This is wrong and should be carefully checked
  • demozoo is missing the screenshots, it always downloads only the first one

Known scrape engine bugs:

  • sometimes it sets "screenshots" to None: it should set that field to empty list if no screenshot detected
  • it doesn't handle very well other extensions than gb, therefore, it may be a good idea to fix this thing, sometimes in the manifest there is "gbc" but the engine has already renamed the file in gb

Other improvements:

  • change the general logic to become more flexible (e.g. select best source, include other extensions)
  • write a basic test suite
  • test from scratch other scrapers, since they may have become buggy due to change in the master scraper
