In bidirectional text, neutral characters like parentheses
and slashes can get interpreted as RTL when not surrounded by
strong LTR characters. This leads to wrong formatting like
"<Copyright <foo@example.com" instead of "Copyright <foo@example.com>"
Workaround by adding explicit right-to-left embedding marker (U+202a).
(Ref: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/)
For trailing slash in URLs, they are just omitted when not really
required.

- Do not translate "OpenVPN Technologies Inc."
- SOCKES --> SOCKS

In case of persistent connections, openvpn.exe is still running
after a disconnect, and another user can restart it without needing
credentials using cached passwords. Avoid this by sending
"forget-passwords" to the management interface before disconnect.
Only persistent connections are affected.
In openvpn.exe versions >= 2.5.8, this will also clear cached
auth_token, if present.

Connection profiles shown on the login screen using PLAP
requires automatic service that starts openvpn.exe
processes for these profiles.
This commit adds an attempt to start the service from
PLAP dll. The service is started only if any PLAP enabled
profiles are found.
As starting the service can spawn up OpenVPN.exe processes and
the GUI may attach to them, auto-connect in the GUI is
suspended during session lock to leave the connections free to
be controlled from PLAP screen.

If '--management' option cannot be parsed in the config file of a
persistent profile (due to missing option, unreadable password etc.),
connecting it from the GUI menu fails.
In such cases show an error message instead of silently failing.
The message is shown only during manual connect attempts,
not during auto-connect or resume.

- instantiate OpenVPN PLAP provider which will enumerate configs
in config-auto directory.
- Attempt to connect each config found one after the other
The test program is deliberately written in C++ as that's how most
Windows programs (and likely, LogonUI.exe) may use the COM object.
Note that duplicate configs are ignored, so ensure that config
files in config-auto are not "shadowed" by identical named one's
in user's profile or in global config folder.
Additional notes:
The test program is not linked to the plap dll.
Instead it finds the module using CoGetClassObject,
so the plap dll must be registered in the system.
It also tests dynamically loading the dll from
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\libopenvpn_plap.dll
which should succeed even if the registration is not
proper.

- COM interfaces for ICredentialProvider and
IConnectableCredentialProviderCredential combined
with a trimmed down user-interface implemented as
libopenvpn_plap.dll
- Connections autostarted by OpenVPNService are enumerated
as possible PLAP connections. The user is expected to leave
these in management hold so that "connect" will popup any
required user dialogs.
To use:
- Register the dll as a PLAP provider (see included .reg files)
- The enumerated connections will show up as tiles in the PLAP
screen of the login desktop (secure desktop).

(i)
State is changed to detached before auto-starting
so that OnHold() will see state = resuming and keep the hold.
State is set to disconnected instead of detached on detach
so that manual starts will release the hold automatically.
End result: While connecting automatically, do not release if
management-hold is on. But while started manually, release
from hold so that connection can complete without further
user action.
In normal use of automatic service, one would not add management
hold into the config. However, if the user disconnects the connection
the GUI puts it on hold, and we do not want to auto-start it after a
lock-unlock or some other automatic action.
(ii)
Also, currently, for persistent connections, the status
window is not shown automatically which feels unnatural in
real use. Instead, popup the status window when connection
is manually initiated. Its not popped up when automatically
attached to or if silent_connection is on.
Only persistent connections are affected by the change.
fixup: config file list is not recreated from scratch when
enable_persistent == 2 (auto attach mode) to avoid losing info
such as auto_connect = false on detached connections.

Three options are provided to control scanning of persistent
(pre-satrted) connections in config-auto folder, and how they
are attached to.
Auto: Scan and list persistent connections and attach to their
management i/f automatically at startup, and periodically
retry on failure to attach.
Manual: Scan and list as above, but do not attach automatically.
User can attach to such connections by manually clicking
connect.
Never: Do not scan config-auto folder.
Default is "Auto"
Change of this setting in the settings menu will take full effect
only if none of the connections are in connecting/connected/detached
state so that the connection list can be updated. Otherwise
restart the GUI.

happen even if the server is connected to another client
and thus non-responsive.

Persistent connections have openvpn.exe daemon started
external to the GUI (e.g., by the automatic service).
This patch adds support for attaching to the management
i/f of such daemons from the GUI and control the connection.
The GUI never stops or starts the openvpn.exe process in this
case. Instead, connect and disconnect buttons signal the
management interface of a running openvpn.exe process to start
the tunnel by attaching to mgmt i/f and sending hold-release if
needed or stop it and wait in management-hold state
(see DisconnectDaemon()).
When the GUI process exits, persistent connections are left in their
current state using DetachOpenVPN().
No connections are marked as persistent as yet. That is done
in a following commit.

- Split starting the status thread and launch of the
