release workflow improvements

- added bat scripts to automatically pack latest steam_api dlss and tools for generate_emu_config and migrate_gse
- removed previous steam_api dlls and 7z archives from generate_emu_config and migrate_gse
- removed previous generate_interfaces and lobby_connect 7z archives from generate_emu_config and migrate_gse
- moved some default required files for generate_emu_config from _DEFAULT\1 to _DEFAULT\0 folder, thus eliminating the need to duplicate them for every other default configuration folder you might create (_DEFAULT\2 - _DEFAULT\5)
