Change Avalonia's Task-based approach to WinForms' BackgroundWorker approach.
- Reduce number of calls to GetLibrary by adding the Library to the LibraryStats record.

- Move all settings file logic into new LibationFiles class
- Configuration.LibationFiles is a singleton instance of the LibationFiles class.
- A LibationFiles instance is bound to a single appsettings.json path. All updates to LibationFiles location are updated in that appsettings.json file
