[windows] Add NSIS installer (#4008)

Adds an NSIS Windows installer file. Includes:

- Installation to `user\AppData\Local\Eden` (user install; does not require administrator and makes the integrated updater work and same as e.g. yuzu, Citra, Azahar)
- Shortcuts for Start Menu and optionally to Desktop
- File association with `.nsp`, `.xci`, `.nro` and `.kip`
- Throughout uninstallation and registry cleanup

And finally, needs to be implemented into the GitHub CI workflow, will submit a PR there later uwu
