- Ticket #3051, Support DTS Music Disc

Changed:

- Ticket #5336/#5380, Replace the minidump creation by Doctor Dump, a more advanced crash reporter. The new crash reporter is able to send the report automatically after the user’s approval and can warn the user if the problem has already been fixed in a newer version. It should also be generally more reliable than the old method
- Ticket #5416, Rename “Remaining Time” feature to “Display Current Time” in the “Renderer Settings” menu and to “OSD: Display Current Time” in the “Keys” option panel so that it describes the feature accurately
