📄 Description

I've noticed that the startup can sometimes be a bit slow.
So i have decided to try to speed the autostart up a bit, by adding the startup entry in the Registry instead of using shell:startup.

The PR also:

Ensures there will be no double autostart entries from the old method
Ensures that on disabling autostart, old startup entries will also be remove

(old startup entries referring to the shell:startup method)

The Tests show an average startup improvement time of 6s across 3 runs each, despite strong variations and inconsistencies due to the nature of windows' boot process.

29,3s p. average for shell:startup
22,9s p. average for registry

EDIT: the registry autostart is now locked behind the --registry flag.
By default, shell:startup is used and will (when enabled) also attempt to remove the komorebi autostart registry entry if it exists.
When the --registry flag is used, it will first try to remove the shell:startup shortcut (if it exists) and then create the appropriate registry startup entry.
