Copilot summary

This pull request introduces significant enhancements to the HostsFileEditor functionality, including asynchronous methods for enabling and disabling entries, improved backup management, and integration of these features into the HostsFileEditorViewModel. The changes aim to improve reliability, maintainability, and user experience when managing the hosts file.

Enhancements to hosts file management:

• Backup Management: Added a daily backup mechanism for the hosts file, including cleanup of old backups exceeding a configurable limit and checks to avoid redundant backups. (HostsFileEditor.cs, [1] [2]
• Enable/Disable Entry Methods: Implemented asynchronous methods (EnableEntryAsync and DisableEntryAsync) to modify hosts file entries, with backup creation before changes and error handling for file operations. (HostsFileEditor.cs, Source/NETworkManager.Models/HostsFileEditor/HostsFileEditor.csR166-R312)

Integration into ViewModel:

• ViewModel Updates: Replaced placeholder message boxes in EnableEntryAction and DisableEntryAction with calls to the new asynchronous methods from HostsFileEditor. (HostsFileEditorViewModel.cs, Source/NETworkManager/ViewModels/HostsFileEditorViewModel.csL256-R263)
