ayo cb08e1c313 Fix OptiScaler NGX routing and align marker polling defaults 
- Explicitly route OptiScaler to d4r\nvngx.dll in release packages.

- Extract INI generation into a helper that preserves line endings
  and rejects missing or duplicate settings.

- Check NGX routing separately from file presence and return failure
  when the installation is incomplete or misconfigured.

- Add an optional OptiScaler patch for external DLSS backends while
  preserving AMD identity for FSR4, with matching launch guidance.

- Align portable and launcher marker polling defaults at 200 us.

- Log when d4r's model override replaces game or OptiScaler presets.

- Add configuration, package, routing and coexistence regression tests.

- Update installation documentation, add FSR/DLSS comparison videos
  and ignore local .tools artifacts.
