Linus Groh dff808d087 Base: Remove /res/pci.ids and download at build time instead
This is an external file from https://pci-ids.ucw.cz that's being updated
daily, which was imported a while ago but probably shouldn't live in the
SerenityOS repository in the first place (or else would need manual
maintenance). The legal aspects of redistributing this file as we
currently do are not quite clear to me, they require either GPL (version
2 or later) or 3-clause BSD - Serenity is 2-clause BSD...

The current version we use is 2019.08.08, so quite outdated - and while
most of these devices are obviously not supported, we're still capable
of *listing* them, so having an up-to-date version with recent additions
and fixes would be nice.

This updates the root CMakeLists.txt to check for existence of the file
and download it if not found - effectively on every fresh build. Do note
that this is not a critical file, and the system runs just fine should
this ever fail. :^)

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Build status Fuzzing Status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
