c069c39ce1 Implemented automatic PUT/PATCH detection
When using POST /arbitrary/{service}/{name}... it will now automatically decide which method to use (PUT/PATCH) based on a few factors:

- If there are already 10 or more layers, use PUT to reset back to a single layer
- If the next layer's patch is more than 20% of the total resource file size, use PUT
- If the next layer modifies more than 50% of the total file count, use PUT
- Otherwise, use PATCH

The PUT method causes a new base layer to be created and all previous update history for that resource becomes obsolete. The PATCH method adds a small delta layer on top of the existing layer(s).

The idea is to wipe the slate clean with a new base layer once the patches start to get demanding for the network to apply. Nodes which view the content will ultimately have build timeouts to prevent someone from deploying a resource with hundreds of complex layers for example, so this approach is there to maximize the chances of the resource being buildable.

The constants above (10 layers, 20% total size, 50% file count) will most likely need tweaking once we have some real world data.

1c408db907 Rework of arbitrary APIs and qdata to support identifiers
qdata has reached the stage of needing parameterized arguments, but this is low priority now that we have data functionality within the UI itself.
