Collaboration improvement requests by Lukas Mertens

Relevant: CrowdAnki diff-merge tool: https://gitlab.com/dodod/crowdanki-diff

• Enable GUID sorting by default to minimize merge conflits at the end of the notes array in JSON (related to Default Config Settings #71)
• Automatically trigger check media functionality on import to re-generate LaTeX images (https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#latex-on-web/mobile)
• Potentially filter out newlyAdded field from notes (https://github.com/ankitects/anki/blob/master/pylib/anki/notes.py#L23)
• Things related to partial export also discussed in Skip exporting certain notes / tag-based exports #74 and Feature Request - Ignore Field on Import/Export #62
• Note model merge is being too trigger happy - fires on structurally identical models

I fully support all of this 😁 I may give this crowdanki diff tool a try soon.

Hey, CrowdAnki-Diff developer here: That would be very nice! Please note the current early alpha everything could explode and kill you state of the project though. We would be very happy about some help, because I am currently very busy and not able to work on CrowdAnki-Diff for probably the next month or so. If someone could make some pull request, that would be greatly appreciated! Bug reports are welcome as well, of course!

Another thing I thought about was forking Git-Json-Merge for crowdanki. Maybe that could be a nice solution as well, as CrowdAnki-Diff only shows the differences, but doesn't produce a merged result yet.

BTW: If you want to try out CrowdAnki-Diff you can try it on https://gitlab.com/dodod/karteikarten btw. We are currently actively working with it in that repo and we are trying to establish a working collaboration-workflow. We are still far from perfect, but from time to time it actually works quite smooth. It's a german repository, but probably you can use google translate to understand what we are doing. Otherwise feel free to ask. The README documents a lot though. If you want to see CrowdAnki-Diff in action, you can just click on one of the links that our bot posts to all merge requests.

Note model merge is being too trigger happy - fires on structurally identical models

I've noticed it triggers whenever CSS or card templates change, even if the fields have not changed.
