[dbpf-grep] TGI search tool

[memo 1,439]

dbpf-grep is a basic command-line search tool for TGIs in DBPF files. It's decently fast, so you can use it to search for specific TGIs in a large Plugins folder very quickly. I also use it for getting a quick overview of files, for debugging load order problems, for writing sc4pac metadata, and for dealing with the NAM and its many files.

I've also had plans to expand the functionality by a few other useful commands, but so far they haven't materialized, so I decided to release it as is for now.
