📄 Description

Changes
Default to Workstation GC mode which seems to be what was used in <=10.6. I'm not sure if .NET 5 or the Web API migration is what caused the new default of Server or not, but we've been using ASP.NET for a long time now, so it must be .NET 5.

Workstation uses less RAM than Server and is more suitable for consumer grade hardware. Servers with more RAM might benefit from using Server GC mode, which is run-time overrideable. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/run-time-config/garbage-collector#workstation-vs-server

Server GC mode reserves a lot of virtual memory, which some devices seem to handle very poorly. Workstation GC reserves much less at the cost of a few more CPU cycles.
