Add a way to check backend at runtime about hudhook HOT 4 OPEN

I think matching against loaded DLLs would be more than enough for 99% of use cases, but I have also been briefly looking into querying the COM interfaces, though I'm afraid that would be flimsier.

As per how to have double hooks in hudhook, until a feature like this lands (I'd like it to!) you could just roll-your-own DllMain method where you first determine what backend is being used, and then conditionally setup the hooks. I think if you copy the macro code verbatim for that you should be good to go!

These are the modules which are available in the games I have tried.

Looking at this list it should be possible to build a best-effort backend checker. Funnily enough, both the OpenGL 3 and the DirectX 11 renderers work for Baldur's Gate so either result would be fine, but for Elden Ring which also loads OpenGL that is not true. So at a minimum I'd introduce a priority mechanism where dx12 > dx11 > dx9 > opengl3

At the end of the day I ended up doing something incredibly idiotic but it did work heh, haven't had the need to do anything more extensive.

Well, that's not much different from the way I'd have implemented something like that :D

Thinking about it, I guess this kind of logic might depend heavily on each client's needs, so not sure whether to include it as a first-party thing. It would probably still be a good idea to have a cookbook of these strategies in hudbook, so I'm keeping this open to track that.
