PatternPaint 2.6 for Windows

This version adds a new feature:

• The action taken on a button 'short press' and 'long press' functions can be re-assigned
• Added a new button action, 'repeat single pattern'. When activated, this action will repeat the current pattern endlessly, regardless of it's 'advance to next pattern' setting.

Additionally, some under-the-hood changes were made:

• Update project to Qt 6 (6.7.3)
• Note that Qt 6 requires a patch to QSerialPort cibomahto/qtserialport@d82373c . Hopefully this will be upstreamed
• Update WinSparkle and libusb to latest versions
