v1.1.0

[drgutman]

Interface:

• Improved loading bar animation in the splash screen (added background animation too). There's still a small inconsistency that makes it go to 100% and then back to 98% or something but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
• There was a small window/widget flickering into existence for a millisecond before the user clicks for the first time on the Replace button in the toolbar.
• Fixed the statusbar label not showing the text entirely.
• Added a new SizeGrip because the default one wasn't visible. It was there and it was working, but you couldn't see it.
  (yes, I had to make a custom drawn size grip with tilted gradients, it's ridiculous how many quirks you find once you start digging)
• Made the splashscreen log widget taller.

Features/Bug fixes:

• Added python check at runtime so it doesn't crash the system anymore.
• Rolled back to python 3.11.9 for compatibility with torch
• Use UV for package management.
• Reorganized the folder structure.
• Streamlined the code and added better error logging and reporting during startup.
• Moved fugashi from requirements.txt to the module_loader function.
• Included pyopenjtalk to the source code bundled_libs along with several dlls so the user doesn't have to install cmake or vs_BuildTools to run the program.
  Changed the debug switch in settings to "show console tab" and added a toolbar icon for show console.
  (there's still a small bug when you move the audio player from the bottom dock to the right bottom dock, in which the height is wrong,
  but I couldn't find a way to fix it no matter what I tried)
• Modified the package check to only delete and reinstall the missing packages or those with the wrong version.
