Change to .NET 8 🥅

• Starting with version 0.4.0, HWiNFO VSB Viewer uses the .NET 8 desktop runtime.
• .NET 8 is the current Long Term Support release of .NET and will be supported until November 2026.
• If you can't upgrade to .NET 8, you can still use this release of HWiNFO VSB Viewer by choosing one of the self-contained versions to download.
• If you want to upgrade to .NET 8, you can find it here.

New download and installation options ✨

With this release I'm adding Self Contained versions both the portable and installer versions. In this context, Self-Contained means that the required .NET files are included. A self-contained installation does not require that the .NET runtime is installed. Of course, by including the required .NET files, the installation is much larger. Download the installer or zip archive that best suits your needs.
