pwsh-neofetch v1.1.2 - Bug Fix release

🔧 Fixes & Improvements:

• Fixed username retrieval issue:
  • In certain cases, when running Windows Terminal with admin rights and providing alternate credentials at a UAC prompt, the $ENV:USERNAME variable could be overwritten as 'SYSTEM' instead of the actual user.
  • The method has been updated to use [System.Environment]::UserName, ensuring the correct username is retrieved regardless of session elevation.

💡 Why This Fix?

• Prevents incorrect username detection in elevated or credential-switched sessions.
• Ensures consistent behavior across different terminal and execution contexts.
