This change allows Syncthing to be launched from Explorer without showing a console window, while preserving the existing command-line behavior. Previously, launching syncthing.exe from Explorer would always allocate a console window, which could only be hidden later by using `--no-console`. It was not possible to avoid console allocation entirely without introducing other issues. On Windows 24H2 and later a new application manifest allows us to achieve it. See [console allocation policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-allocation-policy) This manifest is built into a syso-file by `goversioninfo`, which is already used to generate Windows resource files consumed by the Go compiler. **Note1:** On Windows 24H2 and later, no console is allocated when Syncthing is launched from Explorer, even if `--no-console` is set to `False`. It can still be used as a CLI tool as usual if you call it from console. **Note2:** The content of the manifest file may not be formatted. Even a `newline` would break it. ### Testing Tested on Windows 11 25H2: No console visible from explorer. CLI works as usual.
