aced31fd3f Fix #137552: change REINSTALLMODE to amus
This changes the REINSTALLMODE [1] from the default omus
to amus. this isn't recommended [2] but CMAKE [3] has been doing
it for 6 years now without issues, so it will probably be fine?

89efa94a2d Fix #132198: Remove license dialog from the msi installer
This also removes the component selection, made sense when you could
install both blender and the game-engine player individually but since
the game-engine got removed the dialog is a bit strange, as if one were
to turn any of the components off you'd end up with a non-functional
blender.

The wix documentation [1] has the details on how/why the license dialog skip works.

cab0dadbe3 Installer: Windows: Various tweaks and updates to the installer
1 - Add an option to open up the fund.blender.org website at the end of
the install process.

2 - Use blender launcher to register blender in order to prevent a black
dialog box flashing onto the screen.

3- Since registering blender can take a bit, add a progress text during
registration

4- during installation on windows 10+ the installer displayed
`Copying new files File: [1], Directory: [9], Size [6]` fixed to just display
`Copying new files`

33320b50dd Build: Move WIX installer files to release/windows/installer_wix
This allows the files to be re-used between x64 and amd64 builds
for Windows.

This adds 500 kilobyte of files, but they almost never change, they
are required for releases anyway, and having them in the repo solves
all sort of synchronization problems.

A new graphics is now used, as it was long requested by the UI and
release/PR team.
