Windows 7 was 0x0601. Windows 8 was 0x0602. Both are well past their life-cycle. While Windows 8.1 is also out-of-support, it was only retired as of last year so I'm keeping it for now.

DirectXTK_Desktop_2019/2022.vcxproj now include DirectX Tool Kit for Audio targeting XAudio 2.8. There are no individual MSBuild projects under Audio. This is consistent with the original DirectXTK_Desktop_2019/2022.sln which included the now defunct DirectXTKAudio_Desktop_2019/2022_Win8.vcxproj.

CMake BUILD_XAUDIO_WIN7 build option renamed BUILD_XAUDIO_REDIST to use the XAudio2Redist. CMake presets like x64-Debug-Win7 are now x64-Debug-Redist for XAudio2Redist.

GamePad always uses XInput 1.4 rather than XInput 9.1.0

Always uses CreateFile2, GetOverlappedResultEx, and WIC2

Removes all use of NuGet for XAudio2Redist since this was a Windows 7 scenario. CMake still supports building using the XAudio2Redist which can also be used on Windows 8.1 if desired rather than XAudio 2.8.
