Add installer project, to be used for deployment

[stevenvolckaert]

Installing the Inventor Power Tools add-in is currently done by manually copying two files (a DLL and a .addin file) to a specific target directory on the host's file system. The procedure is explained in a readme file, included in each release.

Add an installer project, e.g. a InstallShield Limited Edition project, or alternatively, distribute the application using ClickOnce.

InstallShield Limited Edition is free for users Visual Studio Professional and Enterprise editions. It replaces Windows Installer technology, which Visual Studio no longer supports.

Target hosts are Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. For the record: The main target host is Windows 8.1.
