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	DSM 7.2.2-72803	yes

The script will try to install Container Manager itself.
