Changes:

• #7: Improved environment variable support in target path
  • Removed --keep-envars option; env-var expansion is now inferred automatically from the {env:VAR_NAME} syntax in the target path
    Any } character in the variable name can be escaped by doubling it.
• #8: Fixed crash when generating a shim for executables with certain icon formats (e.g. qutebrowser)
• Added CLI argument alias mapping via an optional mkshim.cli-map file placed next to mkshim.exe
• Added warnings for unrecognised CLI switches
• Improved --mkshim-noop output: resolved target path is now displayed correctly when env-vars are present
