Automate the merge from the List

[avivace]

This has been done manually, as a proof of concept. It should be trivially implementable.

The list in this repository is based on the README.md in the awesome-gbdev, but a lot of custom elements are added, such as the video players, the "info" message about the disambiguation GB/GBA etc...

We would need some way to template the base list and "render" it into this way, possibly with commented lines so the one in the awesome-gbdev remains clean (this pontential solution is mentioned in gbdev/awesome-gbdev#203)

The Markdown could be parsed into a list of lists (categories of entries), and that processed somehow. Replacements like "insert this between category X and Y", "process entry E thusly", etc.

It's an interesting proposal, thanks ISSO. For sure better than keeping unrelated code in the source list (even if commented).

Considering our list is linted by awesome-lint (actually our version of it: https://github.com/gbdev/list-linter) it's already consistent to the point we could do that, but there's still a lot of spare and custom text around that would make it fail.

I'd suggest trying to go at it anyway, and seeing what hurdles come up. It may be possible to simply ignore these elements, pass them through without any processing, or give them some special treatment as with the rest, for example.

Ok, but it would be super low priority for me, as manually merging the list is not a big deal anyway and it happens once(maybe twice) a year. Ping me if you have time for tests
