xdcc integration

xdcc integration is tailored towards the output of a piece of software called XDCC Parser.

the file xdcc.json contains two arrays. anime for anime (duh) and sources for xdcc packlists. an anime entry requires a title (as it appears in a packlist), a subgroup and the anilist id (that's what the ID layer is good for). all source entries are set to inactive by default to keep startup time minimal for people not using the xdcc integration.
