HUGE update, rewrite from scratch

Hello community! I'm very pleased to announce that I've finally finished rewriting SimpleModDownloader from scratch. The app now utilizes a new version of Borealis for the UI, which has allowed me greater flexibility in the UI design. Here's the changelog, which is quite extensive, and I may have surely missed some things:

• Rewrote the app using Borealis.
• Transitioned to a new build tool: CMake.
• Fixed #46 and #39.
• Added a new page to preview the mod.
• Implemented detection to check if a mod is compatible with SimpleModDownloader (in reality, I check if there's a romfs folder in the archive, as permitted by the GameBanana API).
• Added a fix to prevent a crash that occurred when the mod contained special characters.
• Reduced loading times and implemented multi-threading for improved performance.

A release filled with innovations

Hello everyone. Here is the new version of SimpleModDownloader. It fixes a lot of bugs and adds some new features:

Changelog

• Adds ARCropolis (Smash Bros mods) support compatibility (huge thanks to @Starwarsfan2099 #36).
• Adds RAR support (finally); libarchive is updated to support it.
• Adds one icon on the top left for all game views.
• Now, when you download a mod, you go back to the game view instead of the main view (thanks @Derro8).
• Improves the URL formatting using curl_easy_escape; it fixes #22 and #23.
• Adds detection when the SD is full and crashes the app.
• When you use "B" on image view, it goes to the older image. It's faster.
• Some translations updated, thanks to all translators.
• Fixes #33 and #31.

TODO

• Rewrite the app with the xfangfang's borealis

The first release

I've recently delved into the vast world of Switch modding and found it tiresome always having to rely on a computer to install mods. I found the idea of SimpleModManager interesting, but it lacked a downloading feature. That's why I created the homebrew SimpleModDownloader. The installation part is done through SimpleModManager, so there's a button to switch from the downloader to the manager.
