Bug Description

Mixxx already support showing the Traktor and iTunes library (and possibly Rekordbox soon, too).
It would be nice if Serato was supported, too.

It's database is stored inside the "database V2" file in the "_Serato_" directory:
https://support.serato.com/hc/en-us/articles/204194250-What-is-the-DatabaseV2-file-

The database format is quite straightforward and parsing can be archieved in less than 80 lines of python:

I think we should not use the external library feature for this. I think it would be more appropriate to do a bulk import of the database (Bug #741613). See also: https://mixxx.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/109171-development/topic/external.20library.20integration.20design
