Add option to run post-update effects when manually editing a counter value #3387

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the ability to trigger the post-update effect list when manually editing the value of a counter.

Currently these effects only run when a counter gets updated via an Update Counter effect. Specifically I would suggest an option along the lines of "Also run effects when manually adjusting counter" on that screen. It's not always desirable to trigger the effects upon manual edit, but there are many use cases where that makes sense.

Additional context
A frequent use case in my setup is to set the value of an OBS text source to the counter value. Currently this requires two steps: manually updating the counter, and then manually triggering a preset effect list. It would be really great if this just happened automatically if I made the edit.

And then there might be cases where this isn't desired. I use counters to track wins and losses, and incrementing the win counter chats a congratulatory message and awards currency to viewers. I wouldn't want this happening when making a manual edit, so I'd leave the suggested checkbox unchecked for this case.
