Mailslots are deprecated #8

Just a note that mailslots are considered deprecated since Windows 11 so it's not far away the day when this plugin won't work on new Windows versions.

The way I read this is that only remote mailslots are being deprecated, not the local ones I am using for FRC. Honestly, based on past experience with how Microsoft handles backwards compatibility in the Win32 API, this is never going to go away entirely. That said, should local mailslots be impacted in the future (which I could not find any evidence of), I can easily replace it with a named pipe. For now, however, I will close this issue a I am working under the assumption that the mailslot API is not actually being deprecated.
