Choose custom folder installation

[PhilJbt]

What would you like to add or change?:
Not being restricted to C:\Program Files\Safing\Portmaster as the installation folder (under Windows) during the installation process.

Why do you and others need this?:
My C:\ is a small SSD, I used to install all my apps onto another HDD.

Workarounds:
Use symlinks (like mklink /D "DRIVE_DESTINATION:\FOLDER" "DRIVE_SOURCE:\FOLDER") works, but I suspect this may be a problem. I have a warning message saying portmaster-start.exe has been started from another not intended directory, meaning the symlink is not handled as the real path by Portmaster. From there, I have no way of anticipating how paths are handled, especially during updates.
