FR: UMU-Run ProtonPath & Drop Instance Proton Repository #315

I thought about this when using Drop a bit and finding a good handful of games will not always find proper Protonfixes or even do mf-install or use a Proton version that can do video playback. Which is a major issue for some games.

What I am proposing here is a database on the Drop instance where the "Admin" can assign a folder where downloaded versions of Proton can be placed. When a game is imported there can be an option to select one of the Proton versions inside the folder. The Drop client will then check to see if that version of Proton is in say, "~/Drop/Compat-Tools/GE-Proton-10-20" (This could also be an additional step to check Steams Compat-Tools location, Lutris, Heroic Launcher, and other popular clients locations, but not required), if that is not found it will download the one on the server to the said PC and instantly apply PROTONPATH=/Drop/Compat-Tools/GE-Proton-10-20 GAMEID=umu-id (what you applied already) in front of umu-run "/folder/executable"

Supplying the Proton versions would be on the shoulders of the Drop Instance Admin so Drop wouldn't need some complicated crawler and downloading tool to find them. Along with it using what is already inside of umu-launcher as is so hopefully that would decrease the need for coding a little in this request, if it is to be added.
