📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR refactors LosslessCut's Windows file association setup by replacing the old Applications\LosslessCut.exe registry scheme with a new LosslessCut-based registration structure. The install-associations.reg and uninstall-associations.reg registry scripts are updated to define and remove the new registry keys. The Scoop manifest's PowerShell post_install logic is reworked to load registry templates from the bucket scripts directory, perform placeholder substitution for the install path, and write the generated .reg files. The uninstaller.script is simplified, checkver is changed to an explicit GitHub URL object, and the homepage metadata is updated.

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/losslesscut/install-associations.reg`:
- Line 4: The InstallLocation registry entry currently writes literal embedded
quotes (the line containing "InstallLocation"="\"$losslesscut\"" ), causing the
value to include double-quote characters; change that entry so it writes the raw
$losslesscut path without surrounding/escaped quotes, i.e. remove the embedded
escaped quotes in the InstallLocation value assignment so the registry stores
the plain path.
