update README.md to suggest an Idea to people who want to try building for themselves, and to add the fact that artists can be done from spotify with this revision. add gradlew.bat to help compile for linux, add artistAlbums.kt to set data type for the retreival of the artists discordography, edit Artist.kt to add profile photo retrival, edit SpotifyRequests.kt to allow retrival of artist data by id and artist dicordography, and edit SpotifyProvider.kt to get artist discordography, and then get the tracks from the albums.
