[Linux] Provide templete for desktop entry

[oech3]

AUR (Arch) has few packages to run games with easyrpg-player. But packaging is sometimes breaking (mostly about .desktop file).
It would be nice if templete is provided.

I am not sure what we should provide here?
Icon is specific to the game, and game directory and such are also not predictable.
I mostly use a startup script for setting things up, so the final arguments are not part of the desktop entry anyway.

sed friendly one e.g.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=@NAME@
Icon=@NAME@
Categories=Game;RolePlaying
Exec=sh -c "mkdir -p .config/EasyRPG/saved/@NAME@;exec easyrpg-player --project-path /usr/lib/easyrpg/@NAME@ --save-path .config/EasyRPG/saved/@NAME@"
StartupWMClass=EasyRPG Player

Launchable .desktop file by click could be used for games not managed by package manager.

I noticed that easyrpg-player.desktop does not support launching game by click something (.ldb or .exe?)

The installation package should add magic information for LCFMapTree or LcfDataBase headers to shared-mime-info to associate it to a media type so applications can claim they support that media type, so they can launch them:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/latest/ar01s02.html

Once registered, then add a MimeType=application/ldb; or something like that in the .desktop file of the application. Regarding media type naming, refer to RFC 6838 (BCP 13). For some more formal definition it is possible to register a vendor prefix in IANA like the vnd.opendocument formats and such but likely not worth for rpg maker formats.
