As contributors and translators always increase in number and never decrease, it was getting difficult to thank everyone properly with every update. So instead of manually writing each entry we should take advantage of the power of automation and use APIs to gather this information properly. As long as the user is not actively hiding their profile, they will be thanked properly.
This also includes a potential fix for the problem with multi-lingual text in the About StreamFX window.
This reduces the total amount of links Supporters can submit to just one instead of two. Additionally by removing the buttons and making the entry itself clickable, the UI can show more entries at once and allow users to easily make the connection between the entry and the link it opens when clicked.
In order to work around a bug in the OBS Studio UI code, we have to swap our modal status right before showing and right after hiding, so that the OBS Studio tray menu continuous working correctly. This is a bit of a weird solution, but it does work as expected.

Implements a manual and automatic update checker with support for both release and testing update channels, allowing users to stay as up to date as possible. It is fully compliant with privacy regulations around the world, as it stays completely silent and inactive until the user gives the Ok to connect to GitHub for the latest releases.
Implements support for various new UI features that weren't possible up until now, such as an 'About StreamFX' window with a thank you to everyone that supported the project up until now.
