CLI Changes

• Add -k / --sign parameter which accepts a path to the private key KeyValues file. The keys held within will be used to sign the output VPK
• Add two new "modes"
  • Generate: exists for the --gen-keypair command. <path> will be interpreted as the name of the files, prepended to .[public/private]key.vdf
  • Sign: when <path> is an existing VPK and -k / --sign is present, the existing VPK will be signed using the keys in the private key file
• Add progress bar for packing files
  • Can be disabled with the flag --no-progress

Installer Changes
