New tool to manage a running server.

The new tool can pause/resume a backup, run a backup, change the password and more:
https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/pull/5483
Encrypting database fields.
To reduce the risk of leaking encryption passphrases and credentials,
many fields in the `Duplicati-server.sqlite` file can now be encrypted with user supplied key.
The following environment variables control the encryption options:
`SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY`: Provides the settings encryption key.
`DUPLICATI__REQUIRE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=true`: Prevents starting with a key (also supported via `--require-db-encryption-key-true`).
`DUPLICATI__DISABLE_DB_ENCRYPTION=true`: Forces Duplicati to run without encryption (also supported via `--disable-db-encryption=true`).
If you need to change the key, you can temporarily decrypt the database by starting the server with `--disable-db-encryption`.
After starting, stop the instance again, change `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` to the new key and start again without the argument, to have it re-encrypted.
To downgrade from this version, run once with `--disable-db-encryption`, and change the version number to 7, then install the previous version.

Encrypting database fields.
To reduce the risk of leaking encryption passphrases and credentials,
many fields in the `Duplicati-server.sqlite` file will be encrypted after running this version.
The key used to encrypt is derived from the machine serial number, so the database cannot be decrypted on another machine.
If your strategy relies on being able to read this database, you must take action.
These two setups are vulnerable:
If you do not store a copy of the passphrase elsewhere.
If you make a copy of the settings database.
We strongly recommend that you store a copy of the passphrase(s) securely, regardless of your setup.
If you want to choose the settings encryption key, you can set the environment variable `SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` to a custom value.
If you want to never use the serial number as the passphrase, set the environment
variable `DUPLICATI__REQUIRE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=true`, which will prevent Duplicati from start

This build is changes the underlying webserver to Kestrel, which is common for.NET based projects.
A big thanks to @tsuckow and @npodbielski for their contributions towards this goal.
This build changes authentication for the WebUI.
With this build it is no longer possible to use the web-UI without a password.
If no password is set, a random password is generated.
For users activating the UI via the TrayIcon, this will automatically log in, as the TrayIcon hosts the server.
For users that rely on the WebUI without the TrayIcon, as special link is emitted during startup that allows login.
For both cases, the password can be (re-)set with `--webservice-password=...` as a startup commandline argument.
