v0.19.0 - VPN gateway on Windows

[pymq]

What's Changed

This release brings the VPN gateway to Windows (both as a client and as an exit node), and removes the v0.18.0 network-switch limitation on Linux.

Notable changes:

• Docs: F-Droid installation, reproducible builds and release checksums are now documented in the README.
• VPN gateway on Windows. A Windows machine can now both route its traffic through a remote exit node and serve as an exit node itself
• Gateways now handle network changes. The v0.18.0 limitation is gone: a Linux host that switches network (Wi-Fi/Ethernet/cellular) mid-session no longer requires restarting awl. The gateway client can also be enabled while offline and comes up by itself once a network appears.
• Security fix: a known peer could remotely crash awl or exhaust its CPU with malformed tunnel packets.
• DNS: fixed AAAA (IPv6) queries incorrectly returning A records — thanks to @Iridescent115 (awldns: fix AAAA queries returning A records #252) for the contribution! ❤️
• Windows: fixed a fatal error in the Windows Filtering Platform library (replaced with a patched fork).
• CLI: reworked me status and gateway status output — more compact and readable.

This is a good feature. Have any plan to support ipv6 of inner layer?
