4.0.0 Beta - Testing .net 9

New options for custom archives
But mainly, this is built on .net 9.0 and i want to have some people test it before i push it to everyone

What's Changed

• Update blacklist by @davewongillies in #359

New Custom Archive Type

There is a new type of archive you can configure in your settings, that lets you set up a custom core specific archive with a file extension filter. Can be used to set up, for example, your own archive with a full SNES rom set, and then have pupdate auto-download the set when you run the asset downloader

Example:

{
        "name": "agg23.SNES",
        "type": "core_specific_custom_archive",
        "archive_name": "my-snes-archive",
        "url": "https://www.mycoolsite.net/stuff",
        "index": "index.php",
        "file_extensions": [
          ".smc"
        ],
        "enabled": true
      }
