Change log

• PowerToys now requires Windows 10, version 1903 or higher
• FancyZones editor default launching key is Win+Shift+`
  • Windows Terminal's new Quake mode will use Win+`. We feel this is a far better use of the keystroke.
  • Current PowerToys users can update this in our settings in the FancyZone section.
• Removed our v1 HTML based settings system
