[wue] add an expert feature to restrict a Windows installation to S Mode
* This is placed behind an expert wall (Ctrl-Alt-E) on account that:
  - If you happen to boot a Windows To Go drive in S Mode on a computer, it may set any
    existing Windows installation there to S Mode as well, *even if their disk is offline!*
  - It can be *exceedingly* tricky to get out of S Mode, as the SkuPolicyRequired registry
    trick alone may not be enough (i.e. You can have very much a Windows install in S Mode
    *without* SkuPolicyRequired being set anywhere).
* Also set version to rufus-next and fix a ChangeLog typo.
