Look into distribution of an installer and / or native launcher

[Querz]

Installation and execution of Java is difficult for the layman. As mentioned in #87 I need to look into the distribution of:

• .exe file or installer for Windows
• .app, .pkg or .dmg for MacOS

If having an installer, It should automatically install the relevant Java runtime to run MCA Selector. This Java Runtime should work like the one for Minecraft: Only installed and used by MCA Selector, nothing else. A Gradle task should exist to create those bundles / installers.

What about OpenJDK?

Release 1.14 now gives the option to download a Windows installer.
