Add temperature-based Auto mode with fixed ranges and 5s debounce

Pre-built release for testing: AsusFanControl v1.0.0-fan-curve — download the zip from Assets and run as Administrator.

Summary

This PR adds a temperature-based Auto mode alongside the existing Manual mode, with fixed temperature ranges, debouncing, and UI/performance improvements. Manual mode and the existing CLI are unchanged.

Changes

Manual vs Auto mode

• Manual (unchanged): Fan speed is set by the trackbar.
• Auto: Fan speed is chosen from fixed temperature ranges; current CPU temp and resulting fan % are shown in the UI.

Fixed temperature ranges (Auto mode)

• < 35°C → 0% (fans off)
• 35–55°C → 45%
• 55–75°C → 80%
• ≥ 75°C → 100%

"Forbid unsafe settings" (Advanced menu) still applies a 40–99% clamp when enabled.

5-second debounce

In Auto mode, when temperature moves to a new range, the new fan speed is applied only after it has stayed in that range for 5 seconds, to avoid reacting to short spikes.

Performance

• Hardware reads (CPU temp, fan RPM) run on a background thread so the UI stays responsive.
• Refresh timer interval increased from 2s to 5s to reduce load.

UI

• Temp ranges are shown on separate lines to avoid truncation.
• Window size reduced to fit content; form is fixed single-window (no maximize).
• Mode selection (Manual / Auto) is clear, and Auto mode shows current temp and fan %.

Documentation

• README updated with a Modifications section that describes the new behavior.

Testing

• Manual mode and trackbar behavior unchanged.
• Auto mode applies the fixed ranges with debounce; invalid temp (e.g. -1) shows "N/A" and does not change fan speed.

Happy to adjust anything based on your feedback.
