Subject: [PATCH] Added hexchat.py to the Windows packaging copy step so the
 compatibility module is shipped alongside xchat.py/zoitechat.py in
 ZoiteChatRel\python, which resolves import hexchat failures for HexChat-style
 addons on Windows builds.

Added hexchat.py to the Visual Studio Python plugin project item list so it is tracked consistently in the Windows project metadata.

Added hexchat.py to the corresponding .vcxproj.filters entries under Source Files for IDE consistency.
