Replace IsoBuster and DbPoweramp with redump

[bitsgalore]

Redump.org has updated its earlier IsoBuster recommendation (here) to MPF, which is a front-end for Aaru and redumper.

Redumper gets a recommendation in this guide by Misty De Meo. It is able to handle both audio and data discs.

Combined with #110 this could potentially remove all proprietary software, and also make Iromlab cross-platform.

This would be amazing!

@kieranjol No promises yet this will actually happen though, mainly created this ticket as a reminder to myself. I also have zero experience with Redumper, but it looks like a really interesting option. And those proprietary/Windows-only restrictions have always been a bit of a bugbear to me.

In addition, I just came across Whipper, which is "a Python 3 (3.6+) CD-DA ripper based on the morituri project (CDDA ripper for *nix systems aiming for accuracy over speed)". This could potentially be a replacement for dBPoweramp.

Note this wraps around Cd-paranoia and Cdrdao, which have to be installed separately (along with several other dependencies). From what I recall, earlier tests with Cd-paranoia showed some problems with enhanced CDs, but I don't recall the specifics. Not clear to me how Redump's audio ripping compares to dedicated tools like dbPoweramp, EAC. Needs further investigation.
