Rewrite! Closes #153, #147, #146, #124
Changes: Everything rewritten! Many things borrowed from my other program, pyjam. Split Windows Defender and WifiSense into two options GUI should now scale properly (hopefully) Everything is less terrible! Code is somewhat cleaner! Fixed DiagTrack service Split everything into 3 files: - dwt.py: Entry file, contains GUI and logging stuff - dwt_util.py: Contains functions for disabling the tracking - dwt_about.py: Contains the about and licenses dialog. Have fun!
