New installer, official Rocket Lake and Windows 11 support, several important bugfixes

BenchMate is now operated by Lentils e.U. instead of overclockers.at. overclockers.at is now a nonprofit association and therefore can't have an extended validation certificate, which is needed by the BenchMate kernel driver. This is purely an organizational change without any practical impact.

• Official support for Rocket Lake & Windows 11
• New installer with a classic look using basic MSI functionality. It's also smaller in size and should be much more stable than the last one. 
• Added the latest HWiNFO SDK to fix the Rocket Lake 4C/6C memory frequency bug
• Added OS detection for the latest Windows 10 and Windows Server version
• Added detection for upcoming CPU and platform releases
• Memory frequency and timings are no longer mandatory to produce a valid result file
• Improved score security by adding more result validation
• Improved executable obfuscation, error messages for result file creation errors. 
• Fixed a bug where some benchmarks showed "HWiNFO error (reboot?)" when mandatory sensors where missing
• Fixed a bug where a skewed timer could result in a negative score/time
• Fixed a bug where some benchmarks were not visible in the result list after restarting the client (thanks to L0wpull from HWBOT)
• Fixed DIMM slot detection of EVGA Z590 DARK
• Fixed Rocket Lake timer detection warning in GPUPI. Important: GPUPI will show a 20 MHz HPET instead, which is actually using QPC with an appropriate factor for timestamps internally. It's a workaround to avoid the unsafe timer warnings and does not mean that you really have HPET enabled!
• Fixed HPET bug on legacy platforms (X58 and below) where time could not be measured for a longer period than up to 4 minutes (thanks to L0wpull from HWBOT)
• Fixed a bug that closed the launcher before displaying an error message
• Updated all tools to their latest versions: HWiNFO 7.07, CPU-Z 1.96.1, GPU-Z 2.41.0

Big thanks to ASRock, Nick Shih and Splav to implement and test the Rocket Lake support.
