CPUMon 2.1

This small but versatile CPU usage widget has not received many updates because it was fulfilling its duties perfectly. However, as time goes by, operating systems and user interfaces evolve. It's time to refresh CPUMon with few performance and graphical improvements.

One thing that will not change however is its extreme customizability. For example, here is a custom look on a dark themed desktop:

Full list of changes:

* Implemented alternative CPU frequency detection using Win32_Processor WMI provider.
* Replaced static tray icons with dynamically drawn icons, giving a refreshed look.
* Use system defined tray icon sizes for better graphics on high-DPI systems.
* Internal code cleanup.
* Updated copyright information.
* Recreate icon when taskbar is recreated (Explorer restarts).
* Cleanup tray icon code.
* Automatically deactivate registration when uninstalling.
* Added hint to run as administrator when failed to apply system settings.
* Removed donation link (donations are discontinued in favor of "Pro" version).
* Added confirmation dialog before unregistering the product.
* License expiration is checked against UTC date instead of local.
