Prepare Windows package

[kelson42]

In one of this formats: .msix, .msixbundle, .msixupload, .appx, .appxbundle, .appxupload, .xap This has to work with the CI.

This is necessary to be able to publish on the Microsoft App Store, see #312

Package should be installable for only one user https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/feature-requests/241/

@kelson42 Don't have a plan to release the installer for Windows?

[kelson42]

@xmha97 Indeed, still not properly scheduled.

It would be great if there is an installer for the windows release. Especially for windows 10. In windows 10, the portable release requires the user to run vc_redist.x64.exe from the portable release to install the required Visual C++ Redistributable to obtain the missing msvcp140.dll file. In windows 7 that file is already available, therefore there is no need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable. An installer would greatly simplify the installation for windows 10. It would make kiwix-desktop more attractive to windows users.

Actually, the msvcp140.dll could be bundled in. That would completely eliminate the need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable. That's how mozilla firefox does it.
