More detailed platform information

Previously there were tons of pages talking about the specific files the Discord, Epic Games, Ubisoft and other switchers work with, but since 5.0 this was no longer required. Everything is written in Platforms.json. Every process that's killed, every action that is taken by the account switcher is detailed and user-maintainable.

There are still BattleNet and Steam information pages as these are the only remaining hard-coded platforms - Not user-editable.

If you would like to know which files, registry entries, processes and methods are used or interacted with to swap accounts for a platform; refer to the Platforms.json file in the UserData folder (%AppData%\TcNo Account Switcher). The other copy of the file in the AppData folder (install folder) is the default and will be restored upon the UserData copy going missing. Playing with adding or editing platforms and need to reset? Either manually copy and replace the file, or delete it and start the TcNo Account Switcher to replace it with a fresh copy.
