Release Journal Limpet - Automatic journal storage and EDDN submission

So, I went a made a thing.. it's called Journal Limpet, and the main purpose for it, is to allow players to store whatever journals that Frontier has stored, for all platforms.

I recently also released so that we push those journals to EDDN automatically. :)

Registration is simple, just login with your Frontier credentials, and the journals will be pulled in the background after a while.

I also recommend that you set a notification email in the settings, so that I can send an email to you, if we need you to login again, so we can continue to pull those journals.

There's currently some issues with Epic Games-accounts, where we lose access to the API where the journals live, so best solution for EGS accounts is to play the game often.

Even though I already have a automatic journal backup, its always good to have some redundancy.
