Fixes#393
## Description of change
- Fixes compatibility with IIDX 33
- Adjusts the pattern scan for "hook A" to be compatible with IIDX 27
- Refactors texture replacement to use Camera::CCameraManager2, removing
the need for a second hook

## Testing
Booted with `-iidxcamhook` on IIDX 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 & 33
Confirmed both cameras were visible in I/O test, music select settings &
gameplay

They moved some DLLs around so MFC wasn't being auto-detected, and I/O
hooks were not being performed. Fix that.
## Testing
The game boots into test menu, some i/o works, touch doesn't, not
playable yet.

## Description of change
Add a "Linux" variant of spicecfg/spice/spice64.exe - currently these
are the same as Windows binaries but built without dependency on
WinSCard, which makes it easier to run on WINE.
Split dist archive into two, move api and extras into the new extras
zip.
## Testing
I only checked to see that Linux variants run fine on Windows, and
checked with dumpbin to confirm that the dependency on winscard DLL is
removed. No official support will be provided for Linux builds.

## Description of change
The original launcher::detect_bootstrap_release_code() wasn't detecting
user specified bootstrap.xml path, and was causing issues for
patch_manager and other ext check spots prior to ea3 init (as ea3 does
proper path check itself).
I've added the user path check and proper xml parsing from
detect_gameversion().
## Testing
Tested with prop/bootstrap.xml presents.
Tested with prop/bootstrap.xml not presents and -b
/path/to/bootstrap.xml
## Description of change
Detect and log troubleshooter messages for:
* (early) hook DLL load failure
* data_mods folder without ifs_hook.dll
* spice version (print out current version and add a link to github
download)
## Testing
## Description of change
Finally figured out where the deadlock was coming from - it's because
the `dump_to_logger` was writing `SuperstepSound: Audio device is not
available` to the logger which calls back into the log hook, and then
emits another deferred message, trying to acquire the lock again on the
same stack.
## Testing
Tested the superstep sound failure case again.
## Description of change
Various fixes to deferred logger -
* Rename to "auto troubleshooter"
* Fix potential deadlock
* Reword the error messages to fit in a narrower column
## Testing
tested all the error cases

## Description of change
Instead of setting flags in `signal` and logging when we crash, create a
class for logging deferred semi-fatal messages, and dump them to the log
immediately before crashing or shutting down.

## Description of change
Add a new option that allows absolute position analog input, such as
SDVX controller knobs and IIDX turntables, to be bound as input for
Polaris Chord faders.
In practice this means turning a knob counter-clockwise results in fader
being held left (relative to velocity), and vice versa.

## Description of change
Minor fix for a warning in the log. Moves the check for IFS LayeredFS
_after_ loading hooks. Also checks for the module with `GetModuleHandle`
instead, which should cover all paths as long as `ifs_hook.dll` hasn't
been renamed. 😅
## Testing
Before:
```
[2025/07/19 15:59:56] W:launcher: data_mods directory was found, but ifs_hook.dll is not present; your mods will not load
[2025/07/19 15:59:56] W:launcher: to fix this, download ifs_layeredfs and add it as a DLL hook (-k)
[2025/07/19 15:59:56] W:launcher: https://github.com/mon/ifs_layeredfs
[2025/07/19 15:59:56] I:launcher: msvcrt!__argc value before: 0
[2025/07/19 15:59:56] I:launcher: msvcrt!__argc value after: 57

When an exception is caught during ACIO hook init, print a special
message to suggest the user to disable RTSS and MSI Afterburner, since
they are known to cause issues.
## Testing
Tried with RTSS enabled with High detection and with it disabled. Also
tried to crash the game a different way and check that the message is
not printed and the callstack is shown propeerly.

#316
(this does not fix the issue!)
## Description of change
Add an option to omit `-noCamera` option. Doing so allows the game to
boot and search for a compatible camera using KS API, but will likely
fail since we don't know what cameras are compatible. You end up with a
camera error during boot, which can be ignored by flipping a switch in
the test menu to disable the camera.
No hooks are currently done to make the camera work!
## Testing
Tested to see that turning this on triggers the camera error. No known
camera at the moment.

Fixes#139
## Description of change
Add an option for detecting window focus when accepting input.
The new default will be to have the following:
* naive bindings will check for window focus
* rawinput binds are not affected, will continue to be accepted
regardless of focus
Other options (always / never choices) can be picked by the user to
tweak the behavior if needed.
Clean up usage of `0xff` constant to represent invalid naive vkey.
## Testing
Still in progress, especially in regards to performance.
On a i7-9700 system, 10000 calls to `superexit::has_focus()` takes
250-350 microseconds, so this should not be a big deal at all.

Allow the server to override client's quality options for screen
mirroring.
On Windows / Android versions (flutter-based) clients, this is already
in the options of those apps. However, the iOS version lacks the quality
options.

Tested with iOS and Windows clients.

## Description of change
Mark the option as "sensitive" which censors the option value (adapter's
IP address)
Remove the log entry from spice
This isn't perfect because most of the games like to log the IP address
and subnet anyway, but at least spice itself will stop doing it.

Tested 64 bit LDJ with parameter set.

## Description of change
Log a message if d3d9.dll (and friends) are found in the game root or
the modules directory.
This is to help with troubleshooting in cases where the user is unaware
that d3d9 is being used to inject other DLLs (e.g., ifs_layeredfs), or
when DX9 reimplementation is causing issues / crashes (e.g., dxvk).
## Testing
Observed the new messages being logged in both modules / root directory.

Fixes#307
## Description of change
Add an option for making TDJ/UFC subscreen window borderless in windowed
mode
Add another option for keeping the subscreen "always on top".
Add size / position arguments to SDVX windowed subscreen, exactly the
same as what is allowed for IIDX.
## Testing
Seems to work....
