Главные изменения

Add support for streaming directly from bittorrent peer-to-peer network.

Improved HLS streamer, in particular better support for live streams and quicker adaption between bitrates.

New javascript engine for plugins (https://duktape.org) which is actively maintained and offers much better support than Spidermonkey. Spidermonkey is now deprecated and will be removed for 5.0 so plugin authors are urged to port their plugins.

Major rewrite of user interface rendering code. This is a preparation for Showtime 5.0 which will sport a new user interface.

* Removed habib's patches and added two different ones to improve compatibility
* JB games from FAT32 USB HDDs will be mounted as /dev_usb (and not as /dev_usb***) - this issue appeared in CFW 4.20. /dev_usb is always the first usb hdd which the ps3 manages to mount. When it happens that your game is not on the first/fastest usb hdd it caused problems. "Reset USB Bus" was introduced to multiMAN more than a year ago, but it is now added to mmCM, too, without actual reset of the bus.
