OpenVR Capture for OBS Studio

[Portions of this code were created with the assistance of ChatGPT, although not relying on it entirely (i.e. vibecoding), I still no longer consider this a feasible nor moral way to code moving forward. If I return to this project it will be to rewrite without the use of any AI.]

This plugin allows capturing directly from OpenVR/SteamVR in full resolution.

A.

• Crop function replaced with realtime Aspect Ratio dropdown with Zoom and Offsets.
