PatchDL 0.2.1

Clear answers when a download fails

When PatchDL can't get a download going, the game card now says why: the server couldn't be found, the connection failed, Sony's server answered with an error, and so on. Next to it is a Details link. It checks the connection to Sony's servers for that game on the spot and shows the result as a short checklist. Below that is a report you can copy straight into a GitHub issue. On the PS5 itself, scan the QR code with your phone and the same report opens there, ready to copy. No typing addresses on the console.

Sideloaded apps stay as they are

Some apps are Sony-signed but were installed outside the Store, often to keep one exact version. PatchDL now marks them Sideloaded and starts with their updates switched off, so Update all leaves them alone. Switch updates on for such an app if you really want the new version. Thanks to @yaredcf for spotting this in #11.

Runs on firmware 1.00 to 13.60. Tested on 11.60.
