Rebuild the entire plugin #23
Description
Let's be honest, this plugin hasn't really gotten any real attention for years.
It's insecure (#22) and apart from a new logo, it's hardly maintained. Although there is an issue about verifying PHP 7 compatibility, this was never addressed. On recent versions we get deprecation errors (#19).
I would argue that this plugin needs to be rebuild from the ground up. Preferably not by ModulesGarden. Their code is often riddled with bugs and the quality of their code is low.

Some points of attention:
- Use a supported version of PHP and keep this up to date.
- Use a modern approach to use the API (or keep the DirectAdmin class update, even though this class isn't great).
- Do not use jQuery (especially not 1.10.2.. it's 8 years (!!!) old. Use native JavaScript and AlpineJS for dynamic things.
- Write tests for all PHP code (with PEST or PHPUnit).
- Include documentation within the repository or keep it maintained elsewhere.
