[Win] Rufus v3.21 Final : improved Windows support and several fixes

Description

Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be especially useful for cases where:

• you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
• you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
• you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
• you want to run a low-level utility

Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!

Here is what is new in Rufus 3.21 Final:

• Allow the provision of an arbitrary local account username in the Windows User Experience dialog
• Improve Windows version reporting from ISO/.wim
• Update UEFI:NTFS' NTFS drivers to v1.4 and exFAT drivers to v1.9
• Switch to remote download for nonstandard GRUB (Fedora 37, openSUSE Live, GeckoLinux)
• Fix UEFI:NTFS partition not being set in MBR mode for ISOs with a >4GB file (UwUntu)
• Fix GRUB support for Arch and derivatives, when a non FAT compliant label is used (#2086)
• Fix incorrect detection of GRUB with nonstandard prefixes
• Fix tab order not working on the Windows User Experience dialog
