Release v0.68.1

This is a patch release to fix issues in v.068.0 to fix some bugs we deemed important for stability based on incoming rates.

• #24446 – Support Ctrl+V as activation shortcut for Paste As Plain Text, as requested by some users. Warning: Overriding a default system shortcut might have unintended consequences.
• #24437 – Paste As Plain Text – Support pasting multiple times as Ctrl+V does (on pressing activation key while holding modification keys)
• #24491 – Set Paste As Plain Text default shortcut to Ctrl+Win+Alt+V to avoid conflicting with new Windows volume mixer shortcut.
• #24600 – Add PowerToys Run setting to disable thumbnails generation for files in order to narrow down the root cause of the crash.
