Add TheIntroDB (TIDB) as an alternative to IntroDB for timestamps #2622

Description

Describe your suggested feature

TIDB has roughly 5x more timestamps than IntroDB, and is also more accurate at times. It also uses TMDB IDs rather than IMDB IDs. TIDB also supports movies as well.

Other details

API reference: https://theintrodb.org/docs

This is just an idea though, if it isnt something wanted this can be closed. Though I think it would be a good addition. TIDB also has plugins for browsers, Stremio Enhanced, and Kodi (Coming Soon) as well as others, so having integration with CS3 could also be useful.

Though also, CS3 is more built around TMDB than IMDB so if we decide to only support one of them, TIDB could be the better option as well.

TIDB also does not need an API key for get requests, same as IntroDB.

UPDATE I also just realized TIDB supports IMDB IDs as an alternative as well, so we could add support for checking via that as fallback as well.
