Add Deflate command

Deflate
- Create new bandwidth_statistics table with proper schema.
- Transfer only valid data from existing bandwidth statistics into new.
- Drop old table.
- Vacuum into new database.
Merge Prune & Purge as one proper command
Update ASUSTOR documentation error.

### Deflate
Repairs a known error in the PMS main database "statistics_bandwidth" table.
After repairing it, it purges all the errant data from the table (reducing DB size)
This task can take a significant amount of time. It's frequently used when the DB size is an order of magnitude above what it should be (e.g. 31 GB vs 206 MB). Reductions from 134 GB to 210 MB have been realized.
### Exit
Exits the utility and removes all temporary database files created during processing.

# Release Info:
v1.12.00
1. Deflate capability - Deflate a bloated PMS main database and retain bandwidth statistics.
Recommended usage: "Deflate" followed by "Auto" to optimize the DB after reduction.
2. Purge/Prune merged - Purge and Prune commands have been merged. This was done because most
folks will run both when cleaning up. This merge simplifies operation.
Internally, the code will silently support both commands for a few more
releases.
v1.11.09
1. HotIO Paths - Path defined for Cache dir (and PhotoTranscoder) incorrect. Fixed.
v1.11.08
1. Restart after update - Sometimes restart after update would reference the wrong path. Fixed.
