1b8ec96379 New update scripts
# Plan #
* Repo should be in a non-functional state
  * This is to avoid confusion when most, if not all, scripts fail to run when first downloaded.
* The first step should be to run Build Kit.cmd which does the following
  * Downloads 7-Zip, ConEmu, Notepad++, & Python (including wheel packages)
    * (i.e. just enough to run update_kit.py)
  * Open .bin/Scripts/settings/main.py in Notepad++ for configuration
  * Move the kit folders into place
    * (i.e. /.root_items/* ->> /, /Build Kit.cmd --> /.bin/Scripts/Build Kit.cmd, etc)

* Added Build Kit.cmd
  * Launches build_kit.ps1

* Added build_kit.ps1
  * Downloads 7-Zip, ConEmu, and Python
  * Launches update_kit.py unless errors are encountered

* Removed all launchers
  * update_kit.py will generate them in a future update

# Migration to Python started #
  * PoSH has an extreme slowdown for some systems while it runs an optimization
  ** pass for .NET on the first PoSH script execution.
  ** This is reason enough to move to an alternative.

* New additions:
  * User Data Transfer script
    * Will extract from a WIM or copy from a folder
    * Uses wimlib-imagex for images and FastCopy for folders
    * Removes undesired items after transfer/extraction
  * HWiNFO
  * Missing ODD repair registry patch
  * Q-Dir
  * SW Bundle install script

* ConEmu
  * Moving back to ConEmu for better performance.

* Copy-WizardKit
  * Now uses FastCopy

* functions.py
  * Ported init.ps1 to Python using functions.py (from WinPE) as a base

* Launch.cmd
  * Elevating programs/scripts now done using a temp VBScript file
  * Can run Python scripts (using either the 32 or 64 bit runtime)

* transferred_keys.cmd
  * Expanded searched paths

* Misc
  * Lots of variables and files renamed
  * Lots of hard-coded paths are now in variables
    * Should only be set in scripts in %bin%\Scripts
  * Moved a subset of the Diagnostics launchers to a new 'Extras' folder
    * The launchers moved are those that are less-often used
  * Refactored FindBin code to be more concise
  * Renamed "KitDir" "ClientDir" to indicate that it is on the client's system
  * Removed GeForce Experience launcher as it now requires an account
  * Added link to NVIDIA's driver webpage to download the correct driver
  * Removed AMD's Gaming Evolved launcher
    * This is usually bundled with the GPU driver anyway
  * Switched back to ConEmu
  * Variable and script names are now more descriptive
    * i.e. checklist -> final_checklist, and HH -> %kit_dir%
    * (not happy with %kit_dir%, will probably change again)
