Fix #662: the Windows installer offers a desktop shortcut

Browse Source 
The MSI's wizard now has a Shortcuts page between the install folder and
Ready, with a ticked "Create a desktop shortcut" box (the Start Menu
shortcut is always installed, as the page says). The box sets the secure
INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT property; the shortcut's component is installed
only with it, on the common desktop of this per-machine install, and is
removed with the app. msiexec /qn installs it too unless
INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT="" is passed.

- Double-clicking the MSI opens a setup wizard (WixUI_InstallDir without the licence page):
Welcome, install folder (remembered for upgrades in `HKLM\Software\VectorCraft\InstallDir`),
Ready, a progress page, and a Finish page that says where to find the app, with a ticked "Launch
VectorCraft" box. The pages name the full version (`vectorcraft.en-us.wxl`). `package.ps1` draws
the wizard's banner and side bitmaps from the app icon, so no WiX stock art ships. `msiexec /qn`
still installs silently. Building needs the WiX UI and Util extensions:
`wix extension add -g WixToolset.UI.wixext/5.0.2 WixToolset.Util.wixext/5.0.2`.

- The ARM64 build is cross-compiled on the x64 runner. `.github/workflows/windows-arm64.yml`
installs that MSI on a Windows 11 ARM64 runner, checks that both installed programs are ARM64,
runs `vectorcraft-cli --version` natively and uninstalls.
