We've updated the client to use .NET 6 up from .NET Framework 4.7.2

Nin Online no longer relies on .NET Framework 4.7.2 and it's runtimes to be ran on your computer. It's now using .NET 6 and as a Self-contained App. Meaning you won't need to install the runtimes for it to run on your Windows PC. .NET Framework 4.7.2 was released in 2018 and although it has no End support date from Microsoft, Nin Online is here to stay for the long run, so being on modern technology is always a bonus.

This should bring about performance benefits on top of giving us a better development environment and making Cross-platform more possible.

We've also upgraded from SFML Portable 2.5.0 to CSFML 2.5.2, our Input/Rendering Library.
We've also updated ImGUI .NET to latest version 1.89.5.
We've also updated OpenTK to latest version, should be one less barrier to Mac OS client now
