Handle steamcmd refusal to update #31

Description

Sometimes steamcmd just stubbornly refuses to apply an update.

I can think of a couple ways to handle this:

  1. Wipe or rename the steamapps folder after too many failures
  • This is the common wisdom solution
  • This may necessitate setting branch in RLS config, as closing RLS without the steamapps folder regenerating could result in forgetting which branch was selected
  • Probably want to make this configurable behavior, as some server owners may prefer to do it manually out of caution
  1. Use DepotDownloader (https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader) instead of steamcmd
  • This would be its own whole thing, so probably a last resort
  • I'm not sure if it's less efficient as a first-line updater choice - Steam may be able to download less data when updating
  • Could be cranky about unauthenticated downloads (I just don't know)
