Module Development Overhaul

Module developers! I've completely overhauled how metadata and update methods are defined for modules.

• All metadata is now defined on the module class using C# attributes (these are prefixed using Module to easily find all the valid attributes).
• All update methods (yes, multiple!) are defined on any methods using C# attributes.

Parameter retrieval has also had an update to make way for world modules in preparation for world OSC, and for better handling wildcards.
You can ask questions about these changes in the #module-developers Discord channels. Just grab the @sdk-updates role from the Channels and Roles section.

An update to the Wiki will come in the near future.
More changes to how modules are developed are likely to come. I hope to have 99% of things set in stone by the time repo management is finished.

What's Changed?

• Added customisable milestones to the Counter module
• Allow SpeechToTextProvider to listen for microphone changes
• Allow for relative time formatting in the ChatBox
  • You can now use Discord's relative time formatting (<t:12345678:R>) and VRCOSC will format it
• Allow Startup screen to contain launch arguments
• Increase tray transition delay to ensure VRCOSC puts itself into the tray
• Fixed PiShockProvider sometimes crashing when it couldn't retrieve shocker data
• Allow VRCOSC to minimise to tray when pressing the X button
• Prevent possible crashes when invalid OSC addresses are used
• Added reset to default buttons for global app settings
• Fixed duplicate events being triggered from modules causing incorrect event lengths in the ChatBox
• General optimisations and bug fixes

What's Changed?

• Rewrite module persistence to be more stable and easier to use for developers
• Fixed incorrect formatting of Counter module counts on module start
• Added valuetoday variable for Counter module
• Add voice control for PiShock module
• Fix SpeechToText not recognising your microphone after module restart
• Added option to have VRCOSC automatically put itself into the tray on app start

• Added reset to default button for the ChatBox screen
• Fixed Counter module state not being set on module start
• Allow the foreground window to be shown in the AFK module
• Allow decimal numbers for Clip event times
  • One thing to note is that the event is now processed when a ChatBox update occurs, meaning that the event time starts when the update occurs. This should make for more defined behaviour across different setups
• Fixed ChatBoxText module throwing error if running and empty text is submitted
