In theory the msi should broadcast a 'WM_SETTINGCHANGE' message to all
windows after modifying the PATH environment variable. This ensures that
the new PATH is visible to other processes without restarting windows
(although it's still necessary to close and reopen active console
windows).
Unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't always happen, for unknown reasons.
That's why this patch adds a custom action that unconditionally
broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message.

Building MSIs for different arch's can sometimes confuse MSBuild and
Wix, isntead run the toolchain externally so we don't have to worry
about which arch cmd.exe is running as.
Noteworthy installer improvements provided here:
* Support in the Installer UI for not installing shortcuts.
* Support in the Installer UI for choosing a custom install directory.
* Command line support for not installing shortcuts (ADDDEFAULT=nodejs)
* Command line support for custom install directory (INSTALLDIR=c:\tools\node)
- Fix: it didn't work for the x86 version of node
- Also add NPM to path
- Also print node version
- Don't change dir to home dir if not started from the start menu
This commit enables ETW events to be fired on Windows for existing
DTrace probes. ETW instrumentation is enabled by default. It
is possible to build node.exe without ETW instrumentation by
using --without-etw option with configure script.
The current WiX project files do some manual processing and generation
which WiX supports doing out of the box. This patch will use the
HeatDirectory task to generate the npm.wxs file and use the auto GUID
generation. I also changed the msi filename generation to include the
version number to match the currently used name for released msi files.
Closes#3360
