Describe the feature/enhancement

It would be nice to have a toggle-able setting that if set to 'on' does a scan of the books (and its chapters) in the background when the book is discovered by the library scanner.

In case of conflict or non-identification (couldn't find), it could show up on a new list (just like Issues show up), so that one can manually resolve those.

Also, the same can be done for every new author found in the library.

Use case:
Sometimes I add many books and do not get time to manually update its metadata and then I have to go through anywhere between 10-30 books. It is painful to do this because of the multiple clicks required per book (1 - first on the book edit icon, 2- then quick match - to get ASIN, 3 - then to change tab to 'Chapters', 4 - then to click 'Edit', 5 - then to click 'Lookup, 6 - then to click 'Search', 7 - then to click 'Apply Chapters' - in case of error, 8 - then to click 'Save') and time taken at every step (in case of slow-ish connections).
