### Problem description
<!-- Describe the bug that you fixed/feature request that you
implemented, or link to an existing issue describing it -->
This will simplify the codebase in the pattern drawer. It returns early
on conditional statements and reduces the amount of nested code making
it easier to read and track while developing.
I noticed the bad score on code factor so I reorganized it to make it
more readable and maintainable. In order to break down the big function
into it much smaller parts I encapsulated all the variables that the
functions need to access in two classes, one for the imgui related
statics and the other for non-static variables.
When writing the smaller functions I was noticed that there was room to
simplify the existing algorithms by writing functions that could be
called by parts that previously shared no code. I tested the changes the
same way I tested the original and it seems to work the same way but
maybe a bit faster. Although it may be possible to further optimize the
present code code factor no longer flags the function at all.
As discussed (many times) on Discord, does the same as the new favorite
tag, but instead allows you to add multiple groups.
Initially, this would cause some insane issues with draw/reset
(apparantly) fighting eachother in the pattern drawer. After a lot of
trial and error, I decided to rewrite the flow that is responsible for
calling reset. Now evaluating patterns is the one to decide when the
reset happens, not the core "game"-loop.
To make sure that draw and reset can never happen at the same time, the
mutex originally used for the favorites has been repurposed. Due to the
restructuring, the mutex in the favorite-task is no longer needed, as
that will only ever kick-off after reset is called and if there are
actually patterns, which can never line up to be accessed on different
threads at the same time.
Last but not least, I noticed that hard crashes could result in your
config file getting overridden. I added a check to prevent that.
Last I issue I can see is that if you use an excessive amount of
favorites/groups, a crash can still happen, but it only happens when you
close the program (occasionally, but unpredictable). Before, this would
happen if you ran the evaluation a second time. I boiled the cause of
the crash down to these lines of code in evaluator.cpp >
patternDestroyed:
```cpp
if (pattern->isPatternLocal()) {
if (auto it = this->m_patternLocalStorage.find(pattern->getHeapAddress()); it != this->m_patternLocalStorage.end()) {
auto &[key, data] = *it;
data.referenceCount--;
if (data.referenceCount == 0)
this->m_patternLocalStorage.erase(it);
} else if (!this->m_evaluated) {
err::E0001.throwError(fmt::format("Double free of variable named '{}'.", pattern->getVariableName()));
}
}
```
Specifically, trying to access the `*it` is the reason for the crash
(this was also the cause of the crashes before my fixes, but then during
evaluation).
I'm suspecting the root cause is somewhere in the `.clone` methods of
the patterns. I'd say that for now a crash when closing the program is
more acceptable than during evaluation (which can even happen if you use
favorites).
From #1265, Looks like Error Popup doesn't handle properly in some
circumstances.

Fixes random .NET plugin crash caused by the console window being freed
on the same process.
### Problem description
Sometimes when launching from the explorer ImHex crashes
### Implementation description
We've implemented a launcher to avoid freeing the std streams, that
generated the bug.
### Screenshots
N/A
### Additional things
Blame windows console subsystem
