Context
There has been a lot of cases where ARM64 users are having trouble with steamcmd in general. The main idea for this PR is to give an alternate way for the container to download game server files without using steamcmd. This should hopefully bring back compatibility with M-series Macs (closes #556).
This will also completely remove the 4k page size limitations we had previously as that was mostly due to steamcmd. (#456, #397)
This should also allow us to go back to using Github hosted runners for the unit tests as long as
USE_DEPOT_DOWNLOADER
is set to true when executed for ARM64.Might also help other unrelated steamcmd problems (e.g. #551)
DepotDownloader: https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader
Choices
We can force ourselves to emulate steamcmd, which has been proven to be very finicky due to the fact that Valve don't ship steamcmd as a 64-bit binary. Or we can go and use open-source tools to download the server files like DepotDownloader.
