Ludusavi Integration for Non-heroic games

I will use a script to detect the name but it will use folder name to determine the game name , which has to be matched in ludusavi. 1. Download `ludusavi` binary and copy to one of your $PATH 2. Create a wrapper script in one of your $PATH also keep in mind to make it executable 3. Here is the script content that worked for me.

if game isn't recognised then uncomment logging. Log file location is in the script
