Pinned taskbar shortcuts for unified electron client are removed on Windows during updates

[karanbirsingh]

Describe the bug

On Windows: If a user has pinned the unified product to their taskbar, the pin is removed when the unified product gets an update. This is a known issue in electron-builder: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/2514

The linked issue includes potential workarounds:

• this workaround doesn't unpin the icon, but the icon is lost and becomes a white rectangle
• this workaround is intrusive (always pin)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the application
2. Pin the app to the taskbar
3. Run a new installer
4. Notice the pinned icon is removed

Context (please complete the following information)

• OS Name & Version: Windows 1909
• electron-builder version: 22.2.0
