Improves:
- the reported time accuracy (from seconds to milliseconds, now e.g. different N++ settings benchmarking is possible)
- the ability to analyze various problems (now it is possible to distinguish the time taken by the app/plugin code-init from the possible file loading time)

* Fix certificate checking problem: the old certificate has been expired. In v8.4.2 Notepad++ & its components are signed by the new certificate. The certificate is checked before launching WinGUp (updater) to compare with the certificate key value stored in Notepad++. Updating certificate key value fixes the problem of WinUp validation, so Plugin Admin can be shown on the menu.
* Fix a typo.
Fix#11742
1. Add a cmd argument for plugin: -pluginMessage="SPECIFIC_PLUGIN_MESSQGE" where SPECIFIC_PLUGIN_MESSQGE is a string which can contain white space. For example: -pluginMessage="arg1 arg2 arg3".
2. NPPN_CMDLINEPLUGINMSG notification: which will be triggered by -pluginMessage and plugins will get their specific message "arg1 arg2 arg3" via idFrom field:
//scnNotification->nmhdr.code = NPPN_CMDLINEPLUGINMSG;
//scnNotification->nmhdr.hwndFrom = hwndNpp;
//scnNotification->nmhdr.idFrom = pluginMessage; //where pluginMessage is pointer of type wchar_t
3. Add NPPM_GETCURRENTCMDLINE API for getting the latest command line.
4. Update command line dynamically in Debug info dialog.
Fix#11576, close#11589
Some members (_line2go, _column2go and _pos2go) from the CmdLineParams & CmdLineParamsDTO structs need 'int' to 'intptr_t' change to support 2GB+ files.
Saving & loading of the 'session.xml' needs a 2GB+ adaptation too. The underlying TinyXML (older v1) does not have a native support for the 64-bit integers, so loading/writing there has been changed to strings instead of integers. This way is fully compatible with a possible future update to TinyXML-2 (which has already built-in support for the 64-bit integers).

Notepad_plus_Window was rather huge (megabytes). Now it's small (tens of kilobytes),
but to safeguard against future size increase move its allocation from the stack
into the heap.
By using smart pointer, this PR not only fix open file crash properly,
but also prevent stack from being corrupted in the future.

Toolbar, status bar, tab bar, menu bar, dark scrollbar, handle switching between light and dark, docking splitters and headers, flicker fixes. Minor tweaks to DarkMode.h. Mostly handles the dark mode request for the main interface for #7692 and also follows the windows system theme settings like #9183.

Enhance ghost typing command line argument feature by changing its format:
With it's new format -qX="string contains white space" (where X is 't', 'n' or 'f'), the white spaces can be contained between double quote, so no need to use %20 anymore for substituting white spacees.
Currently the settings directory could be:
1. Notepad++ installation dir if doLocalConf.xml is present.
2. %APPDATA%\Notepad++ if doLocalConf.xml is absent.
3. The path defined in \cloud\choice in Notepad++ installation or in %APPDATA%\Notepad++, it depends on the existence of doLocalConf.xml.
In this PR "-settingsDir" argument is added for overriding above settings paths:
4. Overrided by command line argument -settingsDir="E:\my NppSettings\" : All the above configurations will be ignored, Notepad++ will load (and write) config.xml and the other configuration xml files from (into) "E:\my NppSettings\". Note that double quotes is not necessary if there's no white space in the given path.
The priorities are: 1. -settingsDir 2. Cloud 3. %APPDATA%\Notepad++ or Notepad++ installation dir.
If the given path "E:\my NppSettings\" is not a valid directory (it doesn't exist or it's a file), this argument is ignored and the settings dir will fall back to Cloud (or to %APPDATA%\Notepad++ or Notepad++ installation dir, if settings on Cloud is not defined).

Fixed command line parsing logic error.
Root cause:
When you double click a file (where NPP has already replaced original Windows Notepad.exe) command like something like below is generated -
-notepadStyleCmdline -z "C:\WINDOWS\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE" F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\change.log
After processing this command line, final command line is left as " F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\change.log while others are ignored. Notice, quote " here just before the actual file path.
Later on, MS PAI ::PathIsRelative treats it as relative path because of quote " rather considering single file. It is expected too as per input to this API.
Now, notepad++ tries to open all the file from path F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\ (in above case) along with file F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\change.log.

Add the ability to open folders in "folder as workspace" panel via command line argument "-openFoldersAsWorkspace".
Example:
notepad++ -openFoldersAsWorkspace c:\src\myProj01 c:\src\myProj02
The above command will launch notepad++ with folder as workspace panel by opening myProj01 and myProj02 in panel.

Notepad++ launches updater (gup.exe) without checking the signature, that makes exe hacking possible.
The fix is to check updater binary's signature before launching it.
