HAL now builds and runs natively on Windows, no WSL involved.

It's MSYS2 (UCRT64) with the usual CMake + Ninja, plus -DUSE_VENDORED_PYBIND11=OFF because the bundled pybind11 is a bit too old for current Python. CLI, Python and the GUI all work, also from a folder with something like ü in its path (learned that one the hard way).

I built it on Ubuntu 24.04 with all plugins and tests, all 42 tests pass (run one at a time, -j trips over a few on master too) and netlists come out identical to master. So Linux/WSL version is unaffected by this PR.

Three of the GUI bugs live on Linux too, Linux is just too polite to crash on them. When the GUI meets a plugin it hasn't seen before, it loads it once to read its info and then unloads it again along with its dependencies (gui_plugin_manager.cpp). For dot_viewer and a couple of others that dependency is hal_gui, so the GUI unloads itself in the middle of the scan. Then removePlugin() in content_manager.cpp only takes dot_viewer's factory off the list and never deletes it, so it stays registered as a project serializer and the next project open or save calls into a plugin that is already gone. And newProject() in file_manager.cpp forgets to load the gate library parser before loading the gate library. That last one is the same fix as #655, so whichever PR goes in second can just drop it.

And #656 works now, no bridge required. With QT_USE_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 ShareX snaps to the docked panels.
