Suggestion: including changes from nightly Process Hacker

The definitions in this repository are usually somewhat behind those that are available for Process Hacker.

PHNT is supposed to be a stable repository. I test/update types with PH first then sync those changes with phnt so they're more or less guaranteed to work properly.
It is a reasonable approach, but it makes it harder for third-party projects to include the latest changes available for Process Hacker. Currently, if someone wants to use the latest definitions that are not yet available here, they have three options:
- Copy necessary header files from Process Hacker.
- Fork this repository, merge changes from the Process Hacker's version, and include it as a submodule.
- Include the entire Process Hacker as a submodule.
Therefore, I have a suggestion.
How about maintaining both stable and nightly versions of phnt here on different branches? This way, those who need well-tested definitions can use the main branch, while Process Hacker and other projects that want to include the latest types can reference commits on the nightly branch.
Made a standalone version that automatically pulls the phnt folder from master branch if there were any changes to it every night.
