PR adds in an archiver for the digital manuals used by Virtual Console titles on the Wii U. Downloads the manuals as PDFs. The endpoint uses the titles original product code, not the Wii U product code, so those have been sourced from the following sources:

• Nintendo 64: https://niwanetwork.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_64_games_by_serial_code
• Nintendo DS: http://sergio.silvestre.free.fr/KDO/DS/Jeux_NDS_20110103_VG.xlsm
• Nintendo Wii: https://www.gametdb.com/Wii/Downloads

The data is unfiltered (way more product codes than VC titles) so maybe they should be trimmed down? I just didn't feel like going through over 1,000 VC titles to match the product codes.

Also it looks like the following systems don't use digital manuals:

• NES
• SNES
• GBA
• PC Engine
• TurboGrafx

I couldn't get the endpoint to work for any of these systems no matter what I tried, and I couldn't find a system product code for the last 2 at all.
