Description
Just like the "Playlist Thumbnail updater", such option would download all cheats for games inside the selected playlist.
The current Cheat updater option download the latest .zip file and extract more than 20.000 files, which is way too much when we can assume that most of people just have an hundred games.

Research direction
Compare the existing Playlist Thumbnail updater with the current Cheat updater flow, starting from their user-facing entry points. Trace how a selected playlist is identified and how the cheat archive is downloaded and extracted. Done means the updater fetches cheats only for games in the selected playlist rather than the full archive.
