A More Performant Tube Converter 🏃‍♂️

Tube Converter has been rewritten in C#! It continues to use yt-dlp and ffmpeg in its backend, however, the application now has a much more stable and cleaner architecture, allowing for faster downloads and fewer crashes. The C# rewrite also makes Tube Converter available for Windows! This work couldn't have been possible without @fsobolev and @DaPigGuy ❤️
