Description
The Lobby URL is hardcoded to http://lobby.libretro.com/add/. Would be great to allow the configuration to change that to allow hosting your own lobby server.

Research direction
Read network/netplay/netplay_frontend.c around line 860, where the Lobby URL is hardcoded. Trace how RetroArch configuration values are defined and consumed before deciding where this URL should be exposed. Done means the URL can be changed from configuration while retaining the current default and supports connecting to a self-hosted lobby server.
