Hack custom applications into LOGITECH LGHUB config so that they *actually work*. Also fix apps which aren't being correctly discovered on your system.

The magic happens in 'C:\Program Files\LGHUB\data\applications.json'

The important thing to note is the per-entry "detection" object, which is a list of detection methods, e.g.

Key:

• c = character
• d = digit
• "/ppp/ppp" = path
• {uuu} = UUID
• x = hexchara

"detection": [
  // Can be an actual name, OR a long hex string
