1.4.1.1 Unification of INF for both architectures.

- This commit unifies both architectures to one INF file and names sys files accordingly, TimeDefuser-x86.sys and TimeDefuser-amd64.sys.
- This change eliminates the extra step for editing INF to target architecture while still not using INF builder.
- This also bumps the version number to 1.4.1.1.
