Addon Manager for Lossless Scaling 0.9.16

on GitHub

Fixes for four issues reported on GitHub.

• The DLSS Upscaler starts with Neural Rendering on (issue #7: "FeatureNotFound (nvngx_dlss.dll missing?)" although the file was there,
  on a 4090). NVIDIA's NGX core is one per process and keeps the search folders of the first addon to start it; Neural Rendering's
  did not include the DLSS runtime's folder, so with both on and Neural Rendering first, the DLSS Upscaler could not find its runtime. Found by
  reproducing it offline (the same error, with the runtime folder right there); every addon of ours now passes the same folders, in any
  order. The compatibility test uses the same list.
• The Performance tab and the header work on AMD and Intel cards (issue #4, RX 9060 XT): GPU load and memory in use now come from
  Windows' own counters (the ones the Task Manager shows) where NVIDIA's NVML is missing; power, clocks and temperature are not reported
  there and are left out. The tab also listens to the upscalers now (frame times, their cost), not only to Neural Rendering: it was empty
  with an upscaler alone, on any card.
• Two NVIDIA cards (issue #6): the compatibility test tests the card Lossless Scaling runs on (the model runs there), not always
  the first NVIDIA card DXGI lists, and the log says which card it tested. Which card that is depends on Lossless Scaling's Preferred GPU.
• Deploying from source (issue #5, tools/deploy.ps1): Lossless Scaling's own Lossless.dll is renamed Lossless_original.dll
  before ours takes its name (it was only backed up, and Lossless Scaling would not start). New: docs/antivirus.md, what to do when
  an antivirus flags the download as a trojan (a cloud verdict on a new, unsigned file; Defender's own scan of the release finds nothing).
• Tools: nr_sreval can start NGX Neural-Rendering-style first (ngxfirst=1|2), eam_gpuprobe compares NVML with Windows' counters.
