PlexData share for QNAP systems

We grabbed a build and made a formal run in the CI.

These packages are properly signed. The version number is slightly different than what was released to PlexPass. There are only minor changes.

Our goal is to verify everything is ok now and can continue the release process to make this official in 1.20.0 / 1.20.1 (most likely 1.20.1)

To demonstrate how this works, which is now as I intended.

  1. The share is created when PMS is installed and when started.
  2. If you have no need of it, it is harmless (just like the Multimedia share)
  3. Should you wish to export it for SMB or to use it by any QTS user, you grant them access in the Shared Folder permissions.
  4. Until the user has access, “admin” is a user, the user does not see it.
  5. Once access is granted, FileStation immediately updates (to add or remove) to reflect the change.

A. No access by default

B. Grant access (add) the desired users.

C. Apply changes and observe the changes immediately visible.

The same holds true for SMB access.

Due to how QNAP impliements AFP and NFS, these two protocols will not work.
They do not resolve links server-side in the same way SMB does.

I did my best but I cannot effect that type change in QTS at this level.
