Version: [3929] Raster Blaster 2.5.1

Added
- Performance panel in every dialog: set the CPU thread count and GDAL
cache size (both remembered between sessions).
- Points-GeoTIFF output now gets overviews built automatically, so
results draw quickly in QGIS.

Changed
- GDAL now runs through the GDAL Python API instead of calling the
gdal_translate and gdalwarp command-line tools. This means a real
progress bar, no need for the GDAL tools to be on your PATH, no
temporary .vrt files, and no problems with very large .points files.
- Memory now scales to your machine: the GDAL cache and warp memory
are sized from your system RAM (about half / a quarter, capped at 16
GB / 8 GB) instead of a fixed 1 GB.
- Points-GeoTIFF output is now multi-threaded for tile writing and
compression, matching the COG paths.
- Removed the obsolete GDAL_WARP_USE_OPENCL option (it has done
nothing since GDAL 3.5).
- Internal cleanup: removed unused code and stopped holding on to
finished tasks.

Fixed
- WEBP quality slider was ignored for COG output (Points-COG and
GeoTIFF-COG) — it always used the default quality. The slider now
works.
- PREDICTOR setting on the plain GeoTIFF path used a value the GTiff
driver rejects; it is now correct for LZW/DEFLATE/ZSTD.
- Custom (non-EPSG) coordinate reference systems now work.
- Cancelling a job no longer writes a scary "Critical" error to the
log.
