aMuleGUI - Remote to local path mappings #843

Description

@ghysler

This is likely a rather big feature request :)

Currently, there is no mapping between local and remote file systems, when using aMuleGUI to manage remote servers. This means files can not directly be interacted with from within the GUI.
The paths I configured in aMule, are also mounted on my Windows client using Samba shares, so all that is missing is a mapping from the remote path to the "local" path.

Proposal: add configurable remote to local path mappings.
E.g.:
/downloads/incoming => D:\Downloads\aMule\incoming (drive letter mapping)
or
/downloads/incoming => \\hostname\sharename\folder (UNC path mapping)
(and likely just regular path mapping on Linux/MacOS)

This would allow for aMuleGUI to launch files (double-click or right-click -> open the file), as well as showing files in the file manager (via right-click menu). This would really improve on the client/remote integration level.

Transmission Remote GUI for example, provides a similar implementation (https://github.com/transmission-remote-gui/transgui)
