.net 8.0

[ethanmoffat]

EOL for .net 6.0 updates is November 2024. Update to next LTS release (.net 8.0) should be completed for EndlessClient and all dependencies. This includes:

• EndlessClient project
• EOLib.* projects
• PELoaderLib
• XNAControls
• eolib-dotnet
  • the project itself is netstandard so should be fine, but the test code is net6.0, so it'd be a good idea to make sure this is up to date as well.

This is highly dependent on MonoGame support for .net 8.0.

It's worth also stating that I managed to point EndlessClient at .NET 8 on my M1 mac and was able to compile without issue, perhaps I will get a branch together and start testing properly later :)
