Added support for `--portable-mode` and `--server-datafolder` for the CLI, ServerUtil, and Agent.
Fixed a few places where file reads were not cached properly.
Moved some responsibilities of UpdaterManager into DataFolderManager.
This now supports storing `machineid.txt` and `installation.txt` inside the path pointed to by `--server-datafolder` or alternatively with `--portable-mode`.
It is possible that some fringe backwards compatibility is lost with this update.
Fixed an issue with AutoUpdater crashing on check/download.
This fixes#5902
Cleaned up some loading of embedded resourse to rely on type instead of assembly name.
Implemented installed executable name instead of using Windows executable names.
Removed the text from the update folder as it is no longer being used.
Added a new `machineid.txt` file that controls the machine-id.
De-coupled the machine-id from the installationid as the latter is used for usage reporting, and should not be connected to the machine-id
InvariantCulture is useful when comparing / sorting human language strings in a culturely correct way. It handles things like accented letters in a way that makes sense to humans (e.g., 'a' should be sorted next to 'á', rather than after 'z').
Ordinal looks just at the raw code points of the characters. As such, it is recommended for use in cases when comparing system strings (file paths, command line parameters, config settings, etc.). Since it doesn't need to use the culture specific sorting rules, this method can often be faster.

Added the --auto-update option to the commandline to allow automatic updates.
Added a new Duplicati.Library.AutoUpdater.exe tool to work with updates, especially handy if the update breaks the install and for manual handling of updates.
Added a current pointer-file to allow running with a version that is not the newest.
Updater is now working except for OSX, where the bundle setup is causing issues when running the loaded instance.
