* Redesign and improve option screens
- Open the options directly from the main menu with the focus on the navigation, all option screens share a navigation with all categories, song folders and credits
- Navigation and settings use rounded backgrounds like the party mode selection, the current category and setting are highlighted with the selection color of the skin
- Categories can be clicked or switched with Tab, Escape moves the focus to the navigation and leaves the options from there, choosing a category moves the focus to its first setting
- Place the action buttons (delay test, adjust screen, server address, add folder) and the webcam preview inside the settings background
- Center the restart and microphone warnings below the settings background
- Move song folder management to its own screen with a list of all folders, add and remove buttons, a scrollbar and a restart warning
- Add the tile caption option to the game options (only selectable when the song menu is set to tiles)
- Remove the old options selection screen (ScreenOptions)
- Fix configured song folders being ignored when the first entry of the config is empty
- Show the folder dialog in front of the game window
- Fix background music source being overwritten by the karaoke effect setting

* Add jukebox mode
Songs can now be played without singing, e.g. as a break filler at parties.
- New Jukebox button in the main menu next to Sing and Party, locked without a profile like both of them
- Choose all songs, a category or a playlist, random or in order, and optionally only a part of each song (medley part, 30, 60 or 90 seconds)
- Video in full screen, lyrics without notes and a short song info whenever a new song starts
- Control bar with previous, pause, next, skip intro, audio mode (normal or instrumental), shuffle, repeat, lyrics on/off, queue and "Sing now"
- Queue with search: Enter puts a song next, Enter again plays it right away, songs can also be removed and reordered
- The queue adapts its size to the free space above the lyrics or the control bar
- Control bar and queue fade out after a few seconds without input and come back with the next key press or mouse move
- Works with keyboard, mouse and gamepad
- Smooth transition between songs, the next song is loaded in advance
- "Sing now" starts the current song with the player selection and returns to the jukebox afterwards
- The logo in the main menu is now centered
- New LyricsIcon and QueueRow textures in all Vocaluxe 2024 skins
* Fix SonarCloud issues
A new party mode for 3 to 16 players who sing against each other in one-on-one duels. Whoever scores more points moves on, the loser is out, until only the champion is left.
- The bracket is shown mirrored: both halves lead towards the final in the center, where the champion is crowned
- Players are drawn randomly; if the number of players doesn't fill the bracket, some players get a bye in the first round
- Songs are picked randomly from all songs, a category or a playlist, sung as normal, short or medley version, and no song is played twice
- Each player has up to 3 jokers for the whole tournament to skip a song they don't like
- On a tie, the duel is sung again
- The winner of each duel visibly moves on to the next round, and the champion is celebrated at the end
Also fixes "Select random" in the player selection of party modes, which only filled half of the slots.

* Smoother countdown and new menu and in-game animations
- Countdown digits pop in and fade out each second, with a ring of dots showing the remaining part of the second
- Medley countdown uses a smoothed timer and no longer stutters
- Rating popups scale in from below and drift upwards while fading out
- Player scores pulse briefly at the end of a line
- Pause menu fades and scales in and out
- Buttons and select slides pulse briefly when they get selected
- Shared easing functions and a draw transform for animations
* Retrigger CI
- Playlist entries get a second select slide for the audio mode (normal, instrumental, vocals, karaoke)
- The slide is only shown if the song has an instrumental file, otherwise normal is used
- The audio mode is saved in the playlist file and used for each round
- Sing, score and highscore screens use the audio mode of the current round
- Song options select the audio mode by mode instead of position
- ScreenSong theme version 15

* Fix index check in CSelectSlide.RenameValue
The check used && instead of ||. An index cannot be negative and out
of range at the same time, so the check never returned early and an
invalid index caused an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
* Allow textures to be disposed more than once
CTextureBase.Dispose threw ObjectDisposedException on a second call.
Dispose must be safe to call multiple times, otherwise freeing a
texture twice crashes the game.
Return early instead. CD3DTexture and COGLTexture also check
IsDisposed first, so a second call does not free the GPU texture
again. This matters for OpenGL, where the texture name may already
belong to another texture.

* Control score sounds from UpdateGame instead of the thread pool
_PlayProgressBarSound started a Task that waited for the progress bar
duration and then closed whatever stream was stored in
_ProgressBarSoundStream. When switching rounds on the score screen
before that time had passed, an old task closed the progress bar
sound of the new round too early and played the applause of the
previous round, while the applause of the new round never played.
Remember when the progress bar sound was started and check it in
UpdateGame on the main thread instead. Starting a new progress bar
sound and leaving the screen now also stop a running applause.
* Sync progress bar sound with the score bar animation
The sound duration was computed from the points (10,000 points =
5 seconds), while the bar animation duration depends on the bar size
in the theme and only starts when the bar is first drawn. Both only
matched approximately and drifted apart with other themes.
Add CProgressBar.AnimatesMovement and CProgressBar.IsAnimating. The
score screen now stops the progress bar sound and starts the applause
as soon as no visible score bar is animating anymore. If the theme
has no movement animation, the previous duration is used.
* Make stream id allocation in CPlaybackBase thread-safe
Load assigned stream ids with _NextId++ outside of the lock. Load is
also called from other threads, so two streams could get the same id
and a later Close or Play could hit the wrong stream.
Use Interlocked.Increment instead. Ids still start at 0.
* Do not play the progress bar sound for 0 points
With 0 points the score bars do not move, so the progress bar sound
started and stopped again right away, which could be heard as a short
click. Do not start it at all if the highest score is 0.
* Better handle multiple tags respecting US format
Based on unversioned, V1 & V2 of US formats : https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/format
Should address #623
Creator now takes multiple values
Maintain backward compatibility
* Update file path properties to match US formats
* Apply R# clean-up for reliability
- Migrate to NUnit4 Assert.That
- Update dependencise versions
- Fix LangVersion to 9.0 (until net core migration)
- Reformat code
- Apply 'var' style (easier for refactoring)
- Remove redundant parentheses
- Add braces on every condition blocks (1 line)
- Uses new null checking patterns
- Uses AutoProperties when possible
- Uses string scalar type instead of class
- Clean usings
- Add .orig files in git ignore
- Rename some properties to respect defined conventions and US format definition
- ID -> Id
- BPM -> Bpm
- Finish -> End
* Update R# settings according to the clean-up made
