paint.net 4.3.3 beta build 7991

This build fixes compatibility with CodeLab-generated plugins whose Help functionality was broken by .NET 6, which was due to a change in GZipStream.Read() I also fixed a memory leak in Settings -> Tools, and there are 3 new translations: Catalan, Corsican, and Thai.

NOTE for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and 32-bit/x86 users: Paint.NET v4.3.x will be the last release(s) that work on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or on any 32-bit/x86 version of Windows. It has become significantly more difficult and time consuming to support these lately, not very many people are using them, and I can no longer justify the cost and frustration of keeping support for these afloat. Starting with Paint.NET v4.4, only Windows 10 and 11+ will be supported, and only on 64-bit (x64 and ARM64). Once Paint.NET v4.3.3 is released, I will start working on v4.4 and will only release v4.3.x updates on an as-needed basis and only until v4.4 is completed.
