Add support for installing PS4 PKG on all firmwares
This uses ezremote-dpi. A standalone payload similar to etaHEN DPI, except it doesn't need etaHEN or kstuff to be loaded. From my testing, install performance seems better without the overhead of etaHEN and kstuff.

update to the libcurl broke connection to archive.org. Had to rebuild wolfssl with the WOLFSSL_NO_ASN_STRICT and rebuild libcurl
increased socket send/receive buffer for httplib-ccp which seems to improve transfer speed from webdav and http servers.

Enable the "Install URL" function from WebUI.
- Install PKG URLs from public file hosting websites like mediafire and pixeldrain
- Install PKG URLs through all-debrid or real-debrid. You need api key for this.

Impemented Package Installer Feature (Thx to LightingMod for the writeup to install packages) Tested on 4.03 only

Only PS4 pkg's are supported
Can install pkg from the PS5 /data folder and subfolders, /mnt/usb folder and subfolders
Can install pkg from all the support HTTP Servers (Apache/Microsoft IIS/Ngnix/Serve/RClone/GitHub)
Can install pkg from WebDAV/NFS/SMB/SFTP/FTP Servers
Can install pkg inside ZIP files from any of the above Remote Servers

RPI - means (R)emote (P)ackage (I)Install
DC - means (D)isk (C)ache

RPI [Disabled] - When RPI is disabled, the PKG is downloaded to the "Temp Directory" on the PS5 first and then installs it. This doubles the PKG file size used on the PS5. But this is the most stable of all modes. By default the temporary downloaded PKG is deleted after install.
RPI [Enabled] - Installs the PKG directly to the PS5 without copying any content to the disk. Usually the fastest if you are on 1GB ethernet. But the negative is that there could be hundreds or ever thousands of request to the remote server to open the file, read 16MB chunk of content and then closes the file. The is known to cause issues on some NAS storage and slow network like wifi where latency kills.
DC [Enabled] - This option is used in conjuction with RPI. If RPI is disabled, this option has no effect. With this option enabled, the app makse only 1 request to open the file, then read and stores the content of the pkg in 5MB chunks on disk, while also at the same time sends the data to the PS5 installer until the completed pkg is installed and then pkg is closed. This saves on hundreds of Opening/Closing of the PKG on the remote. The negative is that approximately 100MB - 200MB of disk space is used and because it writes to disk, it's slower. This might help with installing from NAS with RPI enabled and increase speeds on wifi networks.

These are just my observations during testing. Feel free to test each option and see what works best for you.

Writing to the PS5's internal SSD seems awfully slow for some reason, if you disable RPI or enabe Disk Cache, try change the "Temp Directory" in the Settings Dialog to an external SSD that is exFAT connected to the USB3 port at the back of the console. For some reason, the speed of writing to the external SSD is faster. Usually the external usb SSD is mounted to /mnt/usb(X).
From my personal testing it seems like I get 4x faster network speeds with kstuff compared to etaHen. Tested with the same pkg and same server, each time restarting and loading the payload and run the test. I ran the test 5 times just to make sure. UPDATE: Enabling "Lite Mode" in etaHEN resolves the network speed issue. You can try this too if you get the same issue

Extract the ezremote_client.zip in to the /data/homebrew folder on the PS5.
Must load websrv playload. You won't tbe able to start ezRemote Client without this.
Must load either kstuff or etaHen. ~~Recommend using kstuff if you plan to install packages. From my personally testing, I get 4x faster network speeds with kstuff compared with etaHen.~~ UPDATE: Enabling "Lite Mode" in etaHEN resolves the network speed issue. you can try this too if you get the same issue
Install PS5-ezRemoteClient.pkg (This create a shortcut on the dashboard to launch the app directly via websrv)

Some times the app would crash if you cancelled the pkg install. This could leave some temporary files created in the "/data/homebrew/ezremote-client/tmp" folder. It is safe to delete them.
