Release v4.7: keep trying your configured peer after a reboot (#15)

Removes the heartbeat "adopt a live address" feature (added v1.6). On a LAN with
more than one RemSound machine it could latch a receiver onto an unrelated sender
that happened to be pinging the audio port — then never recover to the real peer,
needing a manual restart (the singer's #15, with log). The feature guessed peer
identity from an untracked ping source with no way to verify it was the same peer;
on the stable VPN/LAN addresses RemSound is actually used with, it only ever caused
harm, since same-address reconnect already works via the continuous heartbeat.
Removed TryAdoptLiveHeartbeatAddress + IsPrivateLanAddress (MainForm) and
GetUntrackedPingSources + recentPingSources (HeartbeatService); the identity-safe
discovery-based following (by verified peer ID) stays. Manual troubleshooting entry
rewritten to match.

Also bundles the held changes since v4.6: status reads line-by-line with GB totals
and double-press-to-copy, CPU/memory in the status, the Install Scripts folder, and
the what's-new-after-failed-update fix. Version 4.7; About + RELEASE_NOTES updated.

### A peer rebooted or changed address and the sound didn't come back
RemSound follows a peer to its new address on its own. If the address you connected to stops responding but the same peer is still reaching you from a different address on your network — because they rebooted onto a new address, for example — RemSound re-points to the live address within a few seconds and the sound resumes without you doing anything. If it doesn't recover, the peer is genuinely unreachable (off, asleep, or a firewall is blocking the new path).
RemSound keeps trying the address you connected to, so when a peer comes back at the same address — the usual case after a reboot — the sound returns on its own within a few seconds, with nothing for you to do. If the peer comes back at a _different_ address (a new DHCP lease, say), reconnect to it: pick it again from **Discovered peers** , or enter its new address with **Add peer by IP** (Connectivity tab, Alt+A). If the sound still doesn't return, the peer is genuinely unreachable off, asleep, or a firewall is blocking the path.
### One side says “unreachable” even though sound is flowing
