Added new Top Menu (not enabled by default)
Reordered settings & new menu: check settings -> Emulated Display, General, Main Window, ZX Vision, TV
Added shortcuts helper action to create icon to trigger recorded keys
Some settings dialogs can reset value to defaults
Restored maximized windows on startup, will be restored to the maximum size available
Improved ZX Desktop:
Allow to set small values for ZX Desktop width size
Add setting to disallow enabling ZX Desktop
Allow to change background color for icons, lower and upper buttons
Added setting to add a stroke on icons
Improved editing joystick to events/keys (allow to unasign easily)
Improved ZX Life: allow to speed up game, fix behaviour on board limits
Improved Trash icon
