RedditImageDownloader

Downloads Images linked in any subreddtt to a local location
Run at a regular interval to keep getting the newer images in any selected subreddit

• Respects the reddit's API rules. (Might be 'err'ing on the side of safety)
• Uses MySQL sqlite to 'bookmark' posts until which download is completed
• Loads the subreddits to scan from a ini file

• Following modules are used : ** os
  ** threading
  ** logging
  ** time
  ** queue
  ** datetime
  ** configparser
