[Feature] Add ProtonDB as a scraping provider #4227

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users who want to install a game on a Steam Deck or a Linux desktop may need to manually search for its Proton compatibility information on ProtonDB. This adds an unnecessary step when deciding whether the game is suitable for their system.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful to include a direct link to the game's ProtonDB page. This would allow users to quickly check its compatibility with Proton and see community reports, ratings, and potential issues when running the game on Steam Deck or Linux.
Maybe even including the compatibility badge.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Users can manually search for the game on ProtonDB, but this is less convenient and requires additional steps. Another alternative would be to provide compatibility information directly within the application, although linking to ProtonDB would be simpler and would leverage its existing community-maintained data.

Additional context

The link could be placed alongside other relevant game information or platform compatibility details. This feature would be particularly useful for users considering Steam Deck or Linux as their gaming platform.
