Compile Blowfish into the binary

Changes0.1.0 (in development)

InternalPlanned for 0.1.0

OpenTS builds the Blowfish cipher into the executable instead of reaching it through the COM object in blowfish.dll. The cipher and the data it reads are unchanged, so encrypted archives, saves, and network packets keep their existing contents.

Startup no longer instantiates that object, and no longer falls back to loading the library and calling its self-registration entry point. A run directory therefore does not need blowfish.dll, and a missing, unregistered, or damaged copy no longer ends startup with the COM preparation error.
