Add "double-press to copy status" toggle + document the spoken-status changes (held for next release)

Browse Source 
Preferences General-tab checkbox "Double-press the speak-status hotkey to copy the status to the
clipboard" (Alt+C), machine-wide (AppConfig.DoublePressStatusToCopy), on by default. When off, a
double press just reads the status again. SpeakStatusLine reads the flag only when the timing already
qualifies, so a normal single press never touches the config. Manual's speak-status section now
covers the line-by-line read, GB totals, and the double-press copy + its toggle.

Held for the next release.

The main window has a **status line** that updates every second with how long you've been connected, how many peers you have, whether sound is flowing, and how healthy the connection is. Normally your screen reader reads it like any other text — but now and then, for reasons that have nothing to do with RemSound, a screen reader loses sight of it and says there's nothing there.
This hotkey is the cure. Give **Speak the RemSound status information** a key in the Keyboard shortcuts dialog, and from then on pressing it reads the whole status line out loud, wherever you are — even when RemSound is tucked away in the tray or another program is in front. It's unset to start with, so the key is yours to choose.
This hotkey is the cure. Give **Speak the RemSound status information** a key in the Keyboard shortcuts dialog, and from then on pressing it reads the whole status out loud, wherever you are — even when RemSound is tucked away in the tray or another program is in front. It's unset to start with, so the key is yours to choose.
It reads the status out **a line at a time** — peers, ping, uptime, data rates, totals — so each piece lands as its own short phrase rather than one long run-on, and big totals show in gigabytes once they pass a gigabyte. A quick **double press** of the same hotkey **copies the status to the clipboard** instead of reading it, so you can paste it to someone if you're comparing notes. If you'd rather a double press just read it again, untick **Double-press the speak-status hotkey to copy the status to the clipboard** on the **General** tab of Preferences (it's on by default).
This one is just for screen-reader users: it talks straight through your screen reader. It works with the screen readers RemSound's speech helper supports — **NVDA** , JAWS, Window-Eyes, System Access, SuperNova and ZoomText — and falls back to Windows' own built-in speech if none of those is running. If you don't use a screen reader, just leave this one unset.
