Scrobble music playing on Chromecast devices to last.fm

Because I was annoyed that Spotify doesn't scrobble to last.fm when
using Chromecast. Currently will scrobble tracks playing on Spotify and
Google Play Music.

``pip install lastcast``

To setup a configuration for lastcast, either modify
``example.lastcast.toml`` as necessary and write it to
``~/.lastcast.toml``, or use the config creation tool:

``lastcast --wizard``

Once the configuration file is in place, run ``lastcast`` to connect to
the Chromecast and start scrobbling.

Detailed macOS setup
--------------------

(for anyone not familiar with Python and pip)

Enter the following commands in your Terminal (Terminal.app, iTerm2, etc.):

1. ``sudo easy_install pip``
2. ``sudo pip install --upgrade lastcast --ignore-installed six``
3. ``lastcast --wizard`` 

This will prompt you to create a last.fm API application and then ask for your
login information, which will only be stored locally on your computer.

Now everything should be set up. When you want to start scrobbling, simply
run ``lastcast`` in the terminal.

Generally, I run lastcast like so: ``while true; do lastcast; sleep 5; done``. 
This will help if you frequently move networks or sleep and resume your laptop, 
as lastcast currently isn't very resilient to these changes (PRs welcome!)
