Add 'None' option for Audio Device to Screen Share

If you're in a voice chat session and go to Share Your Screen>Capture Devices and select a source like OBS Virtual Camera, under the Audio Device option drop down, there is no option for None.

Because of this, it uses Default or whatever other input you select. As a result, the microphone is used twice. Once in the voice chat and once in the Screen Share.

This results in an apparent echo for the people that are watching the screen share. It's not a true echo - it's the same microphone being transmitted twice.

Adding an option of ‘None’ or ‘No Audio’ to the list of Audio Devices will resolve this.

This will also resolve a number of requests from other users for other somewhat related cases.
