v1.0.22

What's Changed

This release has a new method for making it easier to distribute .NET packages which use a Python component by fetching Python for you, removing the need to install Python (or specify where it is).

You can replace all FromXXX() locators with a single FromRedistributable() and it will download Python 3.12, put it into %APP_DATA%/CSnakes and use that for all of the integration.

In future, we will allow overriding the major Python version (to say, 3.13)
