Alter SD before install #266

It would be really handy to be able to have a particular SD action take place before the installation of a firmware. The use case I would appreciate it for is I have OSM map tiles for Meshtastic that are also compatible with Meshcore. If the folders were able to be altered very slightly base on some rules then you would be able to have maps function on either firmware without having to manually change them on a PC.

For instance, my Meshtastic OSM map tiles are located under /maps/osm, while the same exact ones would work for Meshcore under /tiles. So when I install Meshtastic it would be great to have a check to see if there is a folder named /titles and if so rename it to /maps/osm if it does not already exist. Likewise when installing Meshcore if /maps/osm folder exists and there and no /titles folder, rename.

This is of course a much bigger UI change, but I could even see this being extended to a concept of "install profiles" so that you could have a top level UI "Install" list that when a firmware is selected it includes the SD action before the install. Instead of having to navigate SD -> downloads -> firmware_name -> Install. That would also help with the T-Deck's not so great trackball that often selects actions that are not wanted.
