Add NetEase Cloud Music to the lyrics plugin as a source

[amogus07]

The one thing I always have to do before importing music to my library is manually add synchronized lyrics using Oto Music on my phone, which, I'm pretty sure, fetches lyrics from NetEase Cloud Music (I use Syncthing to synchronize files with my laptop). NetEase has lyrics for lots of songs where other providers don't have any, or only non-synchronized ones. That process is very tedious, so it would be awesome to have beets do it for me! I heard there is some geo-blocking going on with NetEase, but there do seem to be workarounds.

There's an FOSS Android app (SongSync) that implements it too, as well as other sources (Apple Music, LRCLib, Spotify (currently seems to be broken) and QQ Music).

I'd suggest to create an issue for this new feature. Do they have an API by any chance?

I took a quick glance at the relevant part of the source code and SongSync seems to be using a third-party API: https://lyrics.paxsenix.org/

reference implementation: https://github.com/Lambada10/SongSync/tree/master/app/src/main/java/pl/lambada/songsync/data/remote/lyrics_providers

took a closer look now, turns out SongSync only uses paxsenix for Apple Music and QQ
