Resubmitting onto 4.7.0.0 #156

Sorry if this is just spam, but I'm going to be honest here, I just vibe-coded this really fast.

This just adds support for running grout on Batocera using portmaster.

I've downloaded a couple of games and they seem to be working fine.

I needed grout support for Batocera; it seems to be working on my amd64 version of Batocera on my laptop.

Feel free to nuke the PR, it's working for my purposes.

I've read the contributing guide, but I didn't see anything specific about what all docs need to be added, so if I'm missing something, let me know

@from-nibly what device did you test this on?

I only tested this on an amd64/x86 laptop with a portable USB installation.

A couple notes I forgot, not sure if this is common for installation steps with other systems. I had to chmod +x the Grout.sh script.

I'm looking through my installation and the code a bit more. Is Grout supposed to update the games list? I think right now the games list and media download isn't quite working if that's supposed to be automatic, but Batocera has a built-in scraper, and there's just a single button press to update the games list so it's not a huge deal (for me at least)

Thanks for that PR ! Yeah there are some hidden miss in the code for the gamelist. I'll add it in my current issue

Awesome, thanks, guys! And good job on this repo, my agent needed very little instruction to whip this out.
