Remove SMB client bandwidth throttling (LAN transfers)

NetworkSafe riskReboot requiredReversible

Sets DisableBandwidthThrottling = 1 under LanmanWorkstation\Parameters. The SMB client self-throttles to avoid saturating slow links — but on a fast home/office LAN (gigabit+, NAS, file server) that throttle just caps your transfer speed below the network's real capability. Disabling it lets large file copies to/from network shares run at full wire speed. No downside on a fast LAN. Reboot required. Reversible.
