Better Auto MAL ID pre-population

Feature/Site Request

What is the feature? Automatic MAL ID gathering. Other relevant information: I am not sure how you are pre-inserting MAL IDs, but as I've moved from Batoto to MangaRock, I now have to supply IDs for all the same series again which is a big pain. MAL would usually give you good search results based on manga name, so I feel like just doing a search and taking the first result ID would work in most cases. If not, there can be a button to populate MAL IDs and it just guides you through to confirm if the ID found is correct.

Either way current way to setting MAL IDs is very slow and for someone who follows a lot of manga, this is a nightmare

Seems like a good idea. MAL also has a search API which may make this a bit easier to do (although it seems to require authentication...): https://myanimelist.net/modules.php?go=api#animemangasearch

Some other ideas:

• When #250 gets sorted we should be able to have a base MAL ID which covers the series across all sites.
• Some kind of way to check the DB for similar named series for IDs may also help here, since they may already have the ID (if migrating to new site for instance).
