Research direction

Start with the linked issue 190 comment, then inspect the existing hardcoded options UI and how global and ripper-specific options are represented. Done means the project has an agreed and implemented approach for dynamically presenting registered options, including the proposed global and ripper-specific scopes.

Description

enhancement options

https://github.com/RipMeApp/ripme/issues/190#issuecomment-344131687

I think as we've been growing the number of rippers and options, and now we're talking about cookie options and so on, it might be time to re-think how we handle options and do something more like an IDE. There is a global scope for options that apply to everything, and then there are options specific to each ripper (for those that have options) and have a dynamically generated tree view with these options instead of a hardcoded (crappy) UI. Since our options are all essentially key, value (with restrictions), I bet it wouldn't be too hard to implement in terms of a grid view with label and combobox for each option, and have each ripper register their options when they are loaded.

I've added a new tag "options" so that we can consider all requests for new options. I feel like we've been seeing them a lot lately.
