Stores ACF custom fields in a custom table instead of WordPress core meta tables.

== Description ==

This ACF plugin makes it possible to store ACF data in structured database tables instead of WordPress core meta tables.

It uses ACF's `acf/update_field_group` hook to create/update the database and then uses `acf/save_post` hook to store the data.

It was heavily inspired by Austin Ginder's post [https://anchor.host/acf-custom-fields-stored-in-custom-table/](https://anchor.host/acf-custom-fields-stored-in-custom-table/).
