0.55.0 is out🎉

Finally this release is done. It went quite longer then i expected. I had to do a lot under the hood with some major version jumps of the libraries i use that lead to bigger refactorings.

With the downfall of citra the future of 3DS emulation was uncertain at best, but not long after 2 citra forks raised from the ashes: Lime3DS with a focus of UI- and quality of life changes and PabloMK7s Citra with a focus of accurate emulation. Both projects merged now into Azahar so it was time to replace Lime3DS with Azahar, bundle and pre configure it in emuze.

Next to Azahar i bundled and preconfigured PCSX2.
24 of the 33 supported systems are pre configured and 20 of them are bundled now🥳

Besides this and a lot of bug fixes i did some quality of life changes. You can now close a game with the controller and emuze all together. Also there is an "About" Page in the settings Overlay where you can find links to the github, discord and changelog.

Please let me know what you think of it in the emuze discord.
