workaround systemd being a joke

 * `copyparty-sfx.py` for windows (unix too) -- crossplatform, beta

+launch either of them (**use sfx.py on systemd**) and it'll unpack and run copyparty, assuming you have python installed of course
 
 pls note that `copyparty-sfx.sh` will fail if you rename `copyparty-sfx.py` to `copyparty.py` and keep it in the same folder because `sys.path` is funky

+## sfx repack

 if you don't need all the features you can repack the sfx and save a bunch of space; all you need is an sfx and a copy of this repo (nothing else to download or build, except for either msys2 or WSL if you're on windows)
 * `724K` original size as of v0.4.0
 * `256K` after `./scripts/make-sfx.sh re no-ogv`
