[Windows] Exiting the app doesn't stop Squeezelite background process

[Sirs0ri]

The Problem

When relaunching the app (either manually, or through the "relaunch" option in the system tray), the new session won't be able to connect to musicassistant, because the 1st instance's squeezelite background process never got killed.

This leads to a) the player not working at all, b) a warning being spammed in the MAss logs, c) visual glitches, because the display name of the companion player in the UI will be flickering between it's actual name and the player ID

This can be fixed by opening the task manager, finding the orphaned squeezelite process, and killing it manually.
