Regulars backup/export

[altere987]

I think I recall some discussion about re-writing the DB structure and regulars to where we didn't have to export the regulars list when clearing the song DB but I think that idea was tabled. Can we leave the export/import alone but have OpenKJ automatically backup the regulars into the users (I realize this will be a different location cross-platform) documents directories and retain the 5 most recent, when the databases are being cleared, updated, etc.? openkj_regulars-1.xml - openkj_regulars-5.xml or whatever naming structure.

I try and export mine manually each month but sometimes forget, and it just bit me when I clicked right through the warning.

@ILightburn - Can you confirm if the recent Regular Singer and Singer history stuff addresses this?

It doesn't yet, but I do already plan on revisiting the db update code in order to add handling for removed/missing songs, so I can add functionality to automatically dump the regular singers/singer history data along with the new play count and last played data from the song db when the db is cleared so it can then just be re-imported after the song library is re-imported into the db.

I'm hoping to make clearing the song db something that people rarely ever have to do by making it smarter about the aforementioned missing songs, renamed, songs, and such.
