Adds a v1.1 block above the existing v1.0 block in the About dialog,
covering the priority-mode feature, always-on network packet priority,
larger UDP kernel buffers, MMCSS Critical bump, and the logging-toggle
bug fix. Version property in the .csproj bumped from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 so
the About dialog heading and the self-updater's CurrentVersion both
report 1.1.

Priority mode (per-profile toggle, Audio profile tab, Alt+U):
- Bundled PROCESS_POWER_THROTTLING_STATE with EXECUTION_SPEED and
IGNORE_TIMER_RESOLUTION flags (keeps CPU at full clock + 1 ms quantum
pinned regardless of OS idle decisions)
- PowerSetRequest(EXECUTION_REQUIRED) + SetThreadExecutionState so the
system can't decide we're idle and downclock
- timeBeginPeriod(1) for 1 ms scheduler quantum
- ProcessPriorityClass.High, ProcessMemoryPriority normal, working-set
minimum locked via SetProcessWorkingSetSizeEx(HARDWS_MIN_ENABLE)
- Fully reversed on toggle-off and on form close
- Off by default (battery cost on laptops); explicit opt-in per profile
MMCSS thread priority on hot threads bumped from High to Critical
(network listener, mix loop, render thread) — always on.
Network packet priority (always on, no toggle):
- qWAVE flow on the outbound UDP socket at QOS_TRAFFIC_TYPE_VOICE with
QOS_NON_ADAPTIVE_FLOW (Voice priority, DSCP 46/EF, WMM Voice on Wi-Fi)
- Silent fallback if qwave.dll missing or QoS service disabled
- Sender + receiver kernel UDP buffers bumped to 1 MB each (was
256 KB send / 512 KB receive) for resilience against ~30 ms stalls
Bug fix: PreferencesDialog logging toggle no longer flags the profile
as dirty. Logging is a machine-local AppConfig setting; the spurious
ChangedAnyProfileSetting flag was triggering the unsaved-changes prompt
on exit after toggling logs alone.
Manual updated: new "Use CPU and Windows performance settings in high
priority mode (Alt+U)" subsection on the Audio profile tab, new
"Network packet priority (qWAVE / Voice / WMM)" subsection in the
network chapter, Alt+U row added to keyboard-shortcuts table.
