📄 Description

Hello,

This is an attempt at adding Fotmob as a data source to soccerdata. The nox test suite passed without errors, with the exception of the python-3.8 tests (but the current python dependency in the pyproject.toml file is >=3.9, so I don't know if this can be safely ignored). Unit tests were also created and passed successfully.

The current methods are:

read_seasons(), read_leagues(), read_schedule() (similar to the other data sources)
read_match_stats() -> reads stats for an individual game
read_league_table() -> this functionality is not included in the other data sources, but I needed it for a personal project, so kept it in.

There are obviously other methods that could be added (e.g. season stats), but did not want to go much further until early issues are dealt with.
