Since gogrepo.py downloads the current full installer for the game, I don't want to download and store the patches.
This patch adds a --skippatches flag to omit these downloads.
The manifest has no extra sections for patches, nor any fields to mark them as patch, but GOG names them patch_*, so this flags filters all gamefiles starting with "patch_".

The manifest has no explicit section for patches, but gog names those files patch_*. So we simply filterout every gamefile thats starts with patch_

I created a version of this that nips the updates in the update phase - when building the manifest.
Noticeably saves some time in creating the manifest when the library is large enough.

Except for archiving purposes there really is no reason to download the patches, since the main installer is already up to date, so you can't go back and stay at a patch you liked for whatever balance update or nice bugs/glitches...

I'm currently testing it out, but really it's just what you did except I put the test in the update command filtering process before the HTTP call (since the name of the file is already known).
