Getting rid of Dagger

Changes in 3.7.1:

• Enable ICMP Echo pinger for Linux x64 only, as it requires the corresponding native .so implementation that is not available for Mac and not needed for Windows
• Add a new Java Built-in pinger by default (InetAddress.isReachable()), which uses ICMP if enough privileges or falls back to TCP port 7
• Fix handling of escape sequences in HTTP Sender
• Fix macOS dark mode switching for some users
• Some fixes in Russian translation
• Internally, replaced Dagger with much simpler DI implementation. Plugins can now declare non-default constructors to benefit from Dependency Injection as well.
• Mac vendors updated
