Switch the webserver to a more maintained version

[kenkendk]

The webserver currently in use seems to cause hangs under heavy load.

The Nancy webserver seems to be a good choice:

Hi Kenneth, have you considered node.js at all?

No, I have not considered node.js, because the webserver needs to interact with C# code.
But after your comment, I found this:
https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge

Which allows hosting nodejs inside C#.

Not sure how Duplicati would benefit from it though. The webserver only needs to serve static files, and hook up a few REST methods that call into C#.

I think in .NET 5 there is already web server Kestrel (https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer) - you could you classic ASP.NET MVC.
At bottom there is example

BTW:do you consider to move to .NET5?

If I'm still working on this project by the time #3124 gets merged, I would probably look at making a PR for kestrel. I'd also like to swap the channel implementation for dotnet5 ones.
