Enlarge the synthetic raw-input ring to avoid stale WM_INPUT reads
Each forwarded raw-input event is written to g_raw_slots[head++ % kRawSlots] and a WM_INPUT carrying that slot's ADDRESS is posted to the game, which reads it back through hk_GetRawInputData. With only 64 slots, a burst that queues more than 64 WM_INPUTs before the game pumps could overwrite a slot before the game reads it, so it would decode a newer event for a stale message. No memory unsafety (the address stays in-bounds), but wrong event data under backlog. Grow the ring to 512 (a few tens of KB) so realistic input rates can't lap it. Deliberately not per-slot consume-tracking: that would permanently exhaust slots and silently stop forwarding for a game that ignores WM_INPUT, whereas a large ring always forwards and only risks a rare stale read under extreme backlog. Also drops the "publish() synthetic-input timing" review item: verified it uses GetTickCount64() (thread-safe), not ImGui state -- not a bug, no change needed.
