Introducing: ESO Market Data Relay

If I were to implement this -- and I was pondering that idea, but wasn't enough into trading to take on such an enormous task certainly not since two trading guilds I was in died overnight with ESO update 3 or 4 -- I'd start with a request for ZOS to add SaleId to every store-related API (search, listing, history). The client must have it, it's just a matter of passing it to add-ons. Then there would be no issues with duplicates.

Even replacing the "timeRemaining", "secsSinceEvent" and similar parameters with solid timestamps would simplify detection of duplicates.
