Adds the capability to add DLC and Updates without installing them to NAND. This was tested on Windows only and needs Android integration.

Works 100x better than before, no crashes on few games I tested. Same loading speed as w/o. Suggestions/fixes:

• Recursive dir search for dlc and update, for example if you wasted money on have all the Smash Ultimate DLC there are literally 99 individual files, so usually you put this in a subdir I am dumb
• Add external dirs to the file system watcher for live updates; also worth noting that a force refresh and going into menu doesn't update it (e.g. if you add a new file there). Part of that is my fault on UI side but should be trivial to add.
• DLC/Updates not immediately showing in game list when a content dir is added
• When games are added and have multiple updates in the external dir, older updates are not automatically shown as disabled in game list

Very nice job, will test more later.

Partial fix live refresh ... 8b70348db8

Recreates the ExternalContentProvider factory when factories are
requested to be recreated, and also request recreate on game list
refresh.

Needs to be added to Android, also currently it's partially borked, see
my comment.

[frontend] Generate web token at runtime (#3462) ... a4d9e8e94b

Rather than having that hardcoded one like before. Also adds
infrastructure which should make it easier to setup defaults at runtime
(e.g. GPU stuff?)
