Add Legacy Games and Riot Client platforms and optional Legendary for…

… Epic Games support. Use .NET publish instead of Costura Fody. (#47)

* Add IGClient

Also updates to README.md and icon for Battle.net

* Better Amazon implementation by ingesting SQLite database

* Switch to .ini; File browser for export shortcuts

* Switch config items from .json to .ini
* First pass at new feature: Export all shortcuts for a platform to a given folder

* Fixes for small list icons

* Fix small list icons, and enable them by default
Also:
* Don't show Steamworks Common Redistributables

* Additional fixes for #32, misc.

Miscellaneous:
* Add a variable (on by default) to use new campbell terminal colors when clearing image area with images < 48 pt resolution
* Use new configuration item to determine whether to do deeper icon scan instead of whether images are enabled at the moment
* Add a struct for volatile configuration variables when we don't want changes to be saved; e.g., users of conhost and other shells won't have images disabled for good when they run with the other shell

* Fixes for .ini change

* Update to Converter.cs after .ini change
* Undo half-completed move from glc-last.json to .ini
Also:
* Fix command-line only bug
* Put log in .exe's folder
* Allow hyphen (-) in addition to slash (/) for command-line parameters
* Specify which game will be launched with /1 in help

* Add launcher launching

Also:
* Fix reversed logic on fallback icon search setting
* Begin work on in-game settings menu

* Update README.md

* Fix missing Steam aliases

* Update README.md

* Update README.md

* Update README.md

* Update README.md

* Add structure for New games category

* Add New games platform

Also:
* Quit automatically if no games are found.
* Add checks for missing registry keys to prevent spamming logs.
* Fix redundant "WARNING: ERROR" logging.
* Add font detection (disabled for now) so "Raster Fonts" users are warned about lack of proper Unicode support

* Add IsNew field to db code

* Add IsInstalled field and "Not installed" category for future use

* Add Paradox Launcher; Scan for not-installed games

(Not-installed scan disabled by default for now.) Currently only works with Amazon, itch, Indiegala, and Paradox (other platforms will require dealing with web APIs). Trying to start a not-installed game will open appropriate client and in some cases will attempt to install it. Not-installed games are sorted to bottom by default.

* Update README.md

* Go back to doing an alphabetic sort on first scan (even where default sort is frequency, i.e., number of launches)

* Get Steam not-installed games

Note this method requires the user's profile be set as public, and DLCs are included in the list.
Also:
* Enable not-installed game scanning by default.
* Fix broken input mode
* Fix bug where frequency sort was reversed
* Output current selection on input row (helps distinguish games with long titles)

* Update README.md

* Add selected game's platform to right side of bottom row

Also:
* Fix bug in Steam alias generation

* Remove duplicate info bar code

* Add GOG SQLite database parsing

* Update GLC_Social.png

* Improve Big Fish implementation

* Longer sleep to prevent image issues after add of infobar

* Fix for Steam sometimes using an alternate syntax in libraryfolders.vdf

Also some experiments for Microsoft Store support (disabled)

* Oops, forgot to comment out something from Microsoft Store

* Launch Galaxy to install/run GOG games (necessary for syncing saves)

* Minimize Galaxy after launch, fix Bethesda bug, misc. path smarts

* Collect Ubisoft not-installed games

* Add Oculus platform

* Update README.md

* Update Platform.cs

* Platforms moved to their own classes

* Platforms now extend an interface for better extensibility
* Add Oculus platform
* Download images for not-installed games

* Another omnibus

* Move to .NET 5 as preparation for GLC2 and possible cross-platform support.
* Automatically add last run date
* Add rating and allow user to adjust it with +/- (by default)
* More flexibility in sort
* Sort between last run, frequency, rating, and alphabetic only with F7 (by default)
* Syntax simplification
* Experiments with Microsoft Store (enabled for debug builds only)

* Add alias and rating to info bar

Also:
* If currently sorting by rating, then ask for a number rather than using the increment/decrement methods

* Fix Battle.net bug

Also:
* More syntax simplification

* Fix Bethesda bug

* Better game library detection for Battle.net

Also:
* Add number of runs to game database [frequency is an interesting synthesis of recent datetime and number of runs that isn't fully captured by the two numbers, but having the simple number might be nice as well]
* Import some statistics from launcher databases [though perhaps setting(s) should be made to disable this behavior]

* Get proper titles for Oculus games from database blob

* Fix Uplay bug

* Get not-installed Oculus games

* Remove some Oculus debug messages

* Fix Paradox debug message

* Fix issue starting games via protocol after switch to .NET 5

* Fix issue starting launchers via protocol after switch to .NET 5

* Fix issues related to search: #36 #38 #43

* Add Rockstar platform

Also:
* Stop Oculus service before scanning (otherwise database is locked)
* Fix double-counting games when multiple regkey ignore entries are present

* Add Arc platform

* Add Plarium and Wargaming.net platforms

* Fix Wargaming.net bugs

* Add Legacy Games platform

* Update README.md

* Deprecate Bethesda. Truncate aliases.

* Fix bug with alias truncation.

* Optionally support Legendary for Epic

https://github.com/derrod/legendary

* Optionally support Legendary for Epic

https://github.com/derrod/legendary

* Add Riot Client platform

* Update supported platform lists

* Use built-in .NET Publish feature instead of Costura Fody package

Also:
* .lnk shortcut files (and shell32) only apply to Windows
* update some packages
* add README.MD to Solution

* Set ReadyToRun false
