Add comprehensive documentation for GChartLib and MetroSuite 2.0 dependencies

[Copilot]

Problem

Users were unable to build the ComputerInfo project due to missing dependencies: GChartLib and MetroSuite 2.0. These libraries were referenced from local paths that don't exist in the repository, and the README only provided links to German forum threads without clear installation instructions.

The project's .csproj file references:

<Reference Include="GChartLib">
  <HintPath>..\..\..\Form Skins\GChartLib\GChartLib.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="MetroSuite 2.0">
  <HintPath>..\..\..\Form Skins\MetroSuite\MetroSuite 2.0.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

These paths don't exist in the repository, causing build failures and preventing new users from running the application.

Solution

This PR adds a comprehensive documentation package that guides users through obtaining and installing the required dependencies, with support for both English and Korean languages.

✅ Multiple difficulty levels - From beginner-friendly to advanced guides
✅ Automated verification - Scripts to check if dependencies are properly installed
✅ Clear navigation - Quick links section for immediate access
✅ Zero code changes - Documentation-only solution, maintains stability
✅ Backward compatible - Existing setups continue to work

Usage

After cloning the repository, users can now:

1. Run check-dependencies.bat to see what's missing
2. Follow INSTALLATION_STEPS.md for a complete walkthrough
3. Refer to DEPENDENCY_GUIDE.md for detailed dependency information
4. Use the troubleshooting sections if issues arise

Example

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/SalkCoding/ComputerInfo.git
cd ComputerInfo

# Check dependency status
check-dependencies.bat

# Follow the guides to obtain and install GChartLib and MetroSuite 2.0
# See INSTALLATION_STEPS.md for complete instructions

Why This Approach?

Rather than attempting to redistribute the DLLs (which could violate licensing terms) or replace the libraries (which would require extensive code refactoring), this solution:

1. Empowers users to legally obtain dependencies themselves
2. Respects licensing by not redistributing potentially proprietary libraries
3. Improves project accessibility with clear, comprehensive documentation
4. Reduces support burden with self-service troubleshooting guides
5. Makes no code changes to maintain stability and compatibility

Impact

• 📦 5 new documentation files (~32 KB total)
• 📝 1 updated file (README.md)
• 🔧 2 utility scripts for dependency verification
• 🚫 Zero code changes - documentation only
• ✅ No breaking changes - fully backward compatible

Testing

• ✅ Verified all markdown files render correctly
• ✅ Confirmed all internal links work properly
• ✅ Tested PowerShell script functionality
• ✅ Validated batch file wrapper execution
• ✅ Reviewed documentation for accuracy and completeness
