Bookends Store for @retorquere/zotero-sync

This is a store implementation for https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-sync, which allows to export Zotero libraries into Bookends, a MacOS reference manager from https://www.sonnysoftware.com. Using Bookend's scripting support via JSX, Zotero data is added to, or updated in a Bookends library.

This implementation saves all Zotero libraries that are accessible to a given Zotero API key in a Bookends library, which must be opened during sync. All Zotero library items are stored in a separate Bookends "group". Zotero collections, notes, and attachments are not synchronized.

The library allows, among other things, to use Bookends super-fast search to do a cross-library lookup of reference items, which is not possible with Zotero currently.

Note: This is currently a proof of concept not suitable for production use. Please let me know if it works for you and open issues / pull requests if it doesn't.
