Research direction

Start in the README section covering BadImageFormatExceptions and review the instructions for adding the UseIJWHost tag. Update that section to explain that the same steps can also address FileNotFoundExceptions when loading the ProjFS DLL in Visual Studio, then verify the wording is clear and consistent with the existing instructions.

Description

I've recently had some trouble loading the ProjFS dll, and was experiencing a System.IO.FileNotFoundException trying to find the dll (in Visual Studio 2022). Following the instructions in the README for dealing with BadImageFormatExceptions (i.e., adding the UseIJWHost tag to my project) worked for me, even though I had never seen a BadImageFormatException. Perhaps the README could be updated to indicate that these steps can also help with FileNotFoundExceptions.
