Container Manager for all armv8

Description

Script to install Container Manager on a RS819, DS119j, DS418, DS418j, DS218, DS218play or DS118

There is no technical reason why these NAS models with a Realtek RTD1296, or Marvell A3720, CPU are excluded from installing Container Manager when they have the same CPU as the DS220j, or DS120j.

So I made a script to install the ContainerManager-armv8 package on any model with a Realtek RTD1296 (or Marvell A3720?) CPU running DSM 7.2 or later.

Confirmed working on

RS819	Realtek RTD1296		?

The script will try to install Container Manager itself.

3. Click on the Manual Install button.
4. Click on the Browse button.

7. Click Next and install Container Manager.
8. Close Package Center.
9. Return to the script window and type yes so the script can restore the correct model number.
