No longer manually enable DEP at run-time

Many thanks to @0xC0000054 for pointing out that DEP in PhotoDemon.exe breaks compatibility with many legacy Photoshop 8bf plugins.

(Note that PhotoDemon will still run fine under DEP on systems where it is enforced for *all* processes - but PhotoDemon itself will no longer manually activate DEP via SetProcessDEPPolicy.)
