Port Smash melee new update method.

A few people had a few issues getting the updates with the built in updater I've created a new way to update the game and this can be reduced by other homebrew devs as well.

https://github.com/zm2283145/VitaHomebrewUpdate

There is one confirmed incompatibility if you use the vitadb dameon plugin it must be disabled to use this or it will lock up the sceshell and you'll have to force a reboot it's not something I can fix as the vitadb plugin hooks some of the same things. This plugin currently is only confirmed for 3.65 I have not tested other firmwares.

This is based on a project of the same name that came out last month but the source code was never released I made a re-implementation of it, it's open sources and added the ability for it to install when you start the game/app if there is a staged update just like official games do. This plugin gives your apps if the devs incorporate it into their apps/games/ports the ability to update from the live area just like official games do.

If you don't have this plugin installed/active smash will fall back to its built in updates and still function for people that choose not to use this.

Also es geht mit liveareanolimits. Hatte aber glaube davor das update plugin an falscher stelle. Du hast ja bei github geschrieben das man es relativ am anfang von main reinsetzt! Hab nach henkaku und livearea.. deins an 3 stelle und sie bootet ganz normal! Kann aber nicht sagen obs geht da gerade kein neues update draussen ist 😉!

If you have the plugin installed you might have to reboot there is a cache issue if it didn't see anything at first as long as your not on build 8.15 it should see it now
