overlay: remove dependency on d3dcompiler (#738)

## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #737, regressed by #707

## Description of change
ImGui backend for DX11 pulled in dependency on a specific version of
`d3dcompiler_47.dll` which is not present on stock Win7 OS image.

Change this to a runtime load of the DLL and disable the overlay if we
can't find one.

## Testing
- [x] Win11, DX11 overlay
- [x] Win11, DX9 overlay
- [x] Win7, DX9 overlay
