Description

This PR adds a WIX installer for Sunshine. The NSIS installer will be removed at a later point after any bugs with the WIX installer are ironed out.

This is a requirement for having an ARM64 installer for #3905 or #3369

The latest NSIS version now runs properly on ARM64 systems, so we can stick with NSIS if we want. WiX does make it easier to support having a single unified installer for both x64 and ARM64 binaries if we want that.

Good to know. I still need to setup a VM to test this out.

I think msi would still be nice to use, especially for anyone installing Sunshine with a script as it supports more CLI options. I discovered in a recent change that I couldn't even get the output of the installer scripts to a log file with NSIS.

Do you know the process for unifying the installer? That would be pretty nice.
