feat: asset support

What this would mean is making it possible to add images/assets via a patch. Right now we're only able to change code, but adding asset support would mean that we would diff the assets as well (between the patch and the release) and send any changed assets (images, icons, etc.) with the patch to the devices in the field. This requires some infrastructure work, mostly in preparing for now arbitrary-sized patches, which means we need to improve our download mechanisms on device (which are currently very simple because code-only patches are generally tiny). As of Jan 2025, this is very close to the top of our list, but still not scheduled.
