New: Detected fills and GWASI

A feature that I have wanted to build for a long time is a way to see script fills (recordings of the script). As of a few hours ago, this is now in place.

There's no universal registry of scripts being filled, but the site GWASI indexes ongoing activity on several community subreddits in order to let you search for audios and scripts easily. Thanks to a collaboration, scriptbin is allowed to use its index and the additional information about which scriptbin links show up in which script offer. This gives enough information to find the script offer post(s) for a script, and the script fill posts linking to the script offer post.

Since this process relies on GWASI indexing information from Reddit and updating its databases and on scriptbin downloading information from GWASI and updating its index, the effect of posting a script fill and seeing it in the list on the script's page is not instant, but changes should reasonably appear in about 15-20 minutes.

As for privacy: No information is sent from scriptbin to GWASI that could cause it to gain information about private, hidden or unlisted scripts. GWASI simply tallies all scriptbin links it has ever seen in the Reddit posts it has indexed and provides some information about which posts they appeared in.

A final note: This is ultimately best-effort and not magic. For example, if a script has been posted to multiple places (like other script hosts), the connections might not be made. If a fill is a private script fill and doesn't link to the script, the connection usually can't be made. And if the fill is posted somewhere GWASI doesn't look, it will not be picked up in this way.
