Support for Microsoft Detours library

* Added support for hooking functions using the Microsoft Detours
  library; this, in theory, means that the application can now at
  least compile just fine on ARM64; although that is the case, it
  currently does not support dynamically patching CTray::Init as I
  have yet to come up with assembly to do that. Also, it is
  uterly untested on ARM64 as I do not have a machine to test on.
* Removed x86 support, compilation targets are now only amd64 and
  ARM64

Offsets are now determined at runtime

* Library downloads and parses symbols in order to determine
  function hooking offsets at runtime and saves the data in a
  "settings.ini" file located in the application folder for future
  use; the file is invalidated when a new OS build is detected
* The main executable attempts to determine the location where a
  jump has to be patched out so that Explorer remains on the 'show
  old taskbar' code path; it will systematically patch each jz/jnz
  instruction and will check whether Explorer still runs fine, and,
  if it does so and does not crash, whether the old taskbar got
  actually shown; once the offset is determined, it is saved in the
  "settings.ini" file for future use
* Please have an unmetered active working Internet connection when
  running for the first time
* Messages from the patcher (i.e. install/uninstall successful
  message, symbol downloading message) will now display in a toast
  (Windows 10 notification) if possible; when Explorer is not
  running, it falls back to using standard MessageBox'es
* Disabled the pre/post build command that restarted sihost.exe in
  Debug builds
