Thanks for your patch.

I've also added the url to this game's gog.com page in the metadata.

"url" is needed to build the full url as seen when doing
"game-data-packager heretic --help"
or when it cna't produce any heretic package

"game" is used for lgogdownloader integration, when you use this tool GDP
can download the setup...exe by itself.

wolf3d.yaml:    gog:
wolf3d.yaml-      url: wolfenstein_3d_and_spear_of_destiny
wolf3d.yaml-      game: wolfenstein_3d
