LGTV Companion x64 v3.5.0

Improvements and additions in this release:

• Option to blank the screen of devices instead of powering off, when PC is a remote streaming host (RDP, sunshine, gamestream, steam link etc). This may improve compatibility in certain situations.
• Automatic management of "localized restart words" for select languages (currently English, French, Swedish). The original implementation remains in place for OS localizations which are not yet implemented. The original implementation was confusing at times (that's on me) so moving towards an, hopefully, even more approachable solution by building an internal database.
• Other minor bugfixes and documentation updates

PLEASE NOTE that in case your OS is localized in a language that is currently not automatically managed (i.e. not English, French, Swedish) consider contributing towards support of your language in a future release by providing your input in this google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SNjYh7kt4aVhHg0ZjI3i96vCeOJZJS73o9Wl-OVEvzk/edit?usp=drive_link
