  • Overhauled Copy (to Clipboard) command
    • Catches any raised exceptions now
  • Added new Save (to file) command, with other general improvements
  • Deleted Clear button and function
  • Moved string generation algorithm into function for the LVG, used in Copy and Save commands
  • Errors encountered while copying or saving are logged to file, the messages list and displayed in a MessageBox.
  • Add ToolTip control and text for buttons
  • Add resource strings for localization

Closes #198

List_Var_Gui:
- Remove header
- Remove Clear button/function
- Move inline algorithm for generating a String of UPS information and variables out of the Btn_Clip click handler, and into its own function SerializeUPSData.
- Modify algorithm to use `StringBuilder` instead of string concatenations
- Modify Btn_Clip click subroutine to use standard .NET clipboard class instead of VB-specific class
- Add Exception handling for Clipboard set call, fixes #198
- Add new function to save UPS info to file, in case clipboard is not available (or user prefers)
- Add MessageBox alerts and visual error log lines for exceptions encountered in copy and save ops
- Update tab stops for Form
- Add ToolTip control and strings
- Add resource strings for localization
- Multilingual App Toolkit changing whitespace again
