New Features

This change removes support for DirectInput from the Motion sink plug-in, as well as the
AkPlatformInitSettings::hWnd and AkPlatformInitSettings::bEnableDirectInputSupport initialization settings. For more information, see Integrating Wwise Motion.
- WG-73968 Added support for ARM64 target.

Fixes for Community-Reported Bugs
- WG-74782 Fixed: Attempting to initialize a haptics Motion output device for a DualSense gamepad connected over Bluetooth results in repeated failed attempts, as well as inaccurate error messaging due to the device using an incompatible connection. More specific error messaging is now provided.
