## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
**Build System & Configuration:**
- Updated `Cpp.Build.props` to use `v145` (VS 2026) as the default
`PlatformToolset`, with fall back to `v143` for VS 2022.
- Configured C++ Language Standard:
- `stdcpplatest` for production projects.
- Removed explicit `<PlatformToolset>` definitions from individual
project files (approx. 37 modules) to inherit correctly from the central
`Cpp.Build.props`.
**Code Refactoring & Fixes:**
- Updated `DrawingHelperTests.cs` in MouseJump Unit Test to ease the
pixel difference tolerance. This became an issue after switching to the
new VS2026 build agent.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Validated successful compilation of the entire solution. Similar
updates have been made to the .NET 10 branch, but these are much cleaner
and will be merged into that branch once fully confirmed working.

* Add boost-regex library
* If enabled use boost lib for regex
Add property `_useBoostLib` to `CPowerRenameRegEx`. If enabled for
replacements with regular expressions the Boost Library is used instead
of the Standard Library.
* Extend signatures to create RegEx with Boost
Extend create and constructor singatures of `CPowerRenameRegEx` with an
option to enable (or disabled, which is default) the Boost Library.
* Verify Lookbehind fails with STD library
To verify that the boost library is disabled as expected, check if a
lookbehind fails.
* Add Unit tests for RegEx with Boost
Add unit tests to verify regex replacement with Boost Library. They are
copied and adapted from the Standard Library tests.
* Improve verify capturing groups test with Boost
It is possible to use a capturing group followed by numbers as
replacement if the group number is enclosed in curly braces.
Added test cases based on the Standard Library tests.
* Add useBoostLib to settings interface
* Get library option from settings object
* Reduce signatures of RegEx by "useBoost"
Remove the parameter added in 19105cf, as it became obsolete.
* Settings: Read useBoostLib from JSON file
* Add UseBoostLib Option to UI
* Boost Lib label states the regex syntax difference
* Fix Regex with Boost Lib tests
- Do not load settings another time in CPowerRenameRegEx ctor
- Set flag correctly in standard library regex tests
* Add "lookbehind" to dictionary
* change Library to lowercase, and also add a comment
As suggested by @enricogior.
