aca00768a2 Offsets are now determined at runtime
* Library downloads and parses symbols in order to determine
  function hooking offsets at runtime and saves the data in a
  "settings.ini" file located in the application folder for future
  use; the file is invalidated when a new OS build is detected
* The main executable attempts to determine the location where a
  jump has to be patched out so that Explorer remains on the 'show
  old taskbar' code path; it will systematically patch each jz/jnz
  instruction and will check whether Explorer still runs fine, and,
  if it does so and does not crash, whether the old taskbar got
  actually shown; once the offset is determined, it is saved in the
  "settings.ini" file for future use
* Please have an unmetered active working Internet connection when
  running for the first time
* Messages from the patcher (i.e. install/uninstall successful
  message, symbol downloading message) will now display in a toast
  (Windows 10 notification) if possible; when Explorer is not
  running, it falls back to using standard MessageBox'es
* Disabled the pre/post build command that restarted sihost.exe in
  Debug builds

c2fa263b11 Build process improvement
In order to ease off building and testing the application, when using
Visual Studio, the solution now automatically kills Explorer before
building (so that the library can replace the old version which
presumably was in use) and starts it back when the build completes.
