David Korth 346dad0faa [libromdata] GameBoyAdvance: Added external title screen images using my new RPDB subdomain. 
Example URL: https://rpdb.gerbilsoft.com/gba/title/E/ASOE78.png

I spent a good while taking screenshots of the vast majority of retail
GBA games. There's probably a few missing, especially GBA Video titles.

Next is DMG, which will be a bit more difficult:
- Game IDs weren't present in the header prior to CGB, and early CGB
  titles don't have them. We'll need to use the title.
- Some games have the same title in multiple regions. We'll need to
  use the region byte for this, though it only distinguishes between
  JP and non-JP.
- SGB-enhanced games that don't also support CGB will have the SGB
  border. Should we also take SGB screenshots of CGB+SGB games, and
  non-SGB screenshots of SGB games?

[rp-download] Added support for the gba/ cache key.
