Added guiCheckDatabase action and fix #202 in saveDeckConfig (#271)

* Added guiCheckDatabase action

This action initiates a check database action in Anki but doesn’t wait for the action to complete before returning.

* Fixed #202 no dconf attribute in saveDeckConfig

Anki manages access to deck configuration differently now. This adapts saveDeckConfig to new style of access.

+*   **guiCheckDatabase**
+
+    Requests a database check, but returns immediately without waiting for the check to complete. Therefore, the action will always return `true` even if errors are detected during the database check.

+    *Sample request*:
+    ```json
+    {
+        "action": "guiCheckDatabase",
+        "version": 6
