…ogging, settings backup, animated webp fix 1. Version bump to 2.2.1 (Application, Installer, version.xml) 2. FFmpeg graceful termination (T-P2): - Redirect stdin and send 'q' before killing - 3-second timeout before Process.Kill() - Prevents zombie ffmpeg processes on cancel 3. GPU encoding auto-fallback (PR Tichau#702 equivalent): - When CUDA/AMF encoding fails, automatically retry with libx264 - Resets state, deletes failed output, rebuilds args for software path - Fixes Tichau#713 Tichau#691 Tichau#572 4. FFmpeg stderr logging (T-F1): - All ffmpeg stderr output saved to %LocalAppData%/FileConverter/Logs/ - One log file per conversion job with timestamp - Critical for diagnosing conversion failures 5. Settings corruption backup (T-S2): - When Settings.user.xml fails to parse, auto-backup as .corrupted.bak - User can still choose to reset to defaults - Backed-up file available for manual recovery 6. Animated WebP → GIF fix (T-F2): - WebP input now goes directly to ffmpeg (skips PNG intermediate) - FFmpeg handles animated WebP natively, preserving all frames - Fixes Tichau#746 Tichau#513 (animated images losing animation)

This PR adds a new feature that automatically retries file conversion using software encoding (libx264) if the initial GPU-accelerated encoding fails. This improves reliability for users with problematic GPU drivers or unsupported hardware configurations.
Key changes:
