v1.1.8 - Simple mode, Temporal smoothing, update onnxruntime and fixing updater bug.

It's been a second! But we have a new release with lots of changes.
In this release we're introducing "simple mode" that hides most of the settings under an "Advanced" checkbox, which should make it far easier for newcomers to start using the filter without "settings shock".
Additionaly we implemented "temporal smoothing" that helps with reducing the flickering of the edges in the binary mask.
We bumped ONNX Runtime to v1.16.3 that increases robustness and speed.
We fixed the bug of the updater popping up the dialog because we changed the repo URL.

Enjoy!
