Trade-off minor image artifacts for smoother stream.

Fix race condition causing remote play on console has crashed.

Fix issue where dropped packets results in losing mic connection.

Correctly set render preset.

Add PS5 Rumble for controllers other than DualSense and Steam Deck (which have native haptics support).

Enable game mode in MacOS.

Fix congestion control stop on Windows and log Auto audio output when chosen.

Add alternate option of using flipscreen.games to query PSN Login.

Using it on my deck to connect to my PS4. It works quite good now, but I had to tinker a bit.
5GHz Wifi causes big stutters but 2,4GHZ Wifi work a lot better for me. Using 720p stream with 20000kb/s

On my Desktop PC, connected via Ethernet cable, Chiaki works with 1080p also on 20000kb/s without any issues.
Great project for Steam Deck.
