Changes:

• Support for Windows 7 and 8 has been removed.
• Windows 8.1 is now the oldest version supported by fastfetch.
• The GPU module on WSL no longer relies on DXCore.
• The directx-headers dependency is no longer required.
• Fastfetch on Linux is now pure C; a C++ compiler is no longer required.
• GPU type detection is now slightly less accurate, but detection speed should be slightly faster.
• The GPU module on Windows now uses DXCore for more accurate GPU type detection (requires Windows 10 or later).
• This feature is built only when DXCore headers are available, which requires installing mingw-w64--x86_64-directx-headers on MSYS2.
