Nightly OCI.tar file that includes full SDCard contents #1996

Description of the feature you're suggesting.

To simplify SD Card updates when updating firmware, we should post nightly OCI.tar files on the website that include new firmware AND the full SD Card contents. (This should be a separate downloadable tar file from the current OCI.ppfw.tar file that only includes firmware and apps.)

As the Flash Utility extracts the tar contents, all of the files would get placed in the correct folders on the SD card.

If compression is needed, we could use the existing LZ compression method that we're using for the background processes code.

BTW, this support could be helpful regardless whether files & folders are moved around as proposed in PR #1967 and #1968, but it probably makes those PR's less necessary.

Anything else?
