v1.5.1: Fix profile startup recovery

HallJoy 1.5.1

Fixes a startup failure that could prevent HallJoy from opening with older,
incomplete or damaged profile data, or a missing active profile.

Download

Download and run HallJoy.exe.
Close the previous HallJoy before replacing it. Do not delete your settings to update.
Only the EXE is needed to run HallJoy; there is no archive to extract.
If ViGEmBus is missing, HallJoy offers its embedded installer.

What changed

• Automatically tries valid settings, bindings and known backup files instead of
  closing with "HallJoy profile could not be loaded".
• Keeps recoverable data and resets unavailable parts when recovery is needed.
• Preserves original settings and bindings in .internal/ProfileRecovery inside
  the HallJoy data folder before replacing settings. Identical retries reuse the
  same backup instead of creating duplicate copies.
• Leaves other saved profiles, custom layouts and curve presets untouched.
• If safe backup or saving is blocked, continues in memory without saving changes
  and explains the limitation. Storage-folder initialization failures remain a
  separate issue; this update does not bypass Windows permissions.
• Adds 16 startup recovery regression scenarios, including repeated starts and
  failures at all five atomic-save stages. Existing settings/profile tests remain.

The affected-PC user confirmed the corrected executable starts successfully.
After automatic recovery, check your bindings before playing.
