Changes:
A player's bounty winnings are now shown on their Stats tab during the tournament.
The PM Service Manager now maintains a direct communication channel with the poker service (once it is started). This is known as a "named pipe" in the Windows API. Currently it's used for two purposes:
1. Show live metrics such as number of running threads, CPU %, and memory used. Also the uptime of the server. These are also the same numbers shown at the bottom of the admin console.
2. A "Debug" button has been added just above the "Stop Service" button. Clicking this sends a command to the poker server's internal debugger, telling it to produce a stack trace of all running threads and send that info back to the service manager. There it will be displayed in a dialog with the option to save to a file. This can be emailed to me in case of a site crash, especially a crash involving a thread deadlock that doesn't otherwise report anything in the Error Log. Note that if you have thousands of threads running it make take a minute or so to get the report.
