Add basic support for assisted installer, with UI to choose between per-user and per-machine. Supported config settings: runAfterFinish, perMachine, oneClick. Not supported: license (EULA), allowToChangeInstallationDirectory, etc. Also prevent oneClick's runAfterFinish from executing when installed silently.

Thank you for your contribution!
It seems like we need to add a new top-level entry
Also, thanks for pursuing this approach |

I think that top-level key already exists from this line. I've been using it in my projects and testing this PR. Those three options already exist under that key – runAfterFinish and perMachine already worked, and oneClick existed even though the resulting MSI didn't function quite correctly. Unless there's somewhere else it needs to go too? |

[ci no changelog needed] [Task link](https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/181944234). It fixes the build issue on Mac OS 12.3.1 that is caused by removed `/usr/bin/python` executable. Also applied `enso-formatter` to the sources. # Important Notes We're basically updating for one major `electron-builder` release - from `v22` to `v23`. I didn't spot anything in the changelog that could affect us. See features + breaking changes excerpt: ``` Features: - feat(msi): add fileAssociation support for MSI target (electron-userland/electron-builder#6530) - feat(mac): ElectronAsarIntegrity in electron@15 - See: electron/electron#30667 (electron-userland/electron-builder#6506 electron-userland/electron-builder#6507) - feat(snap): add lzo to Snap compression options (also as new default) (electron-userland/electron-builder#6201) Upgraded app-builder-bin dependency required newer version of Go - feat(msi): support assisted installer for MSI target (electron-userland/electron-builder#6550) Breaking changes: - Removing Bintray support since it was sunset. Ref: https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/ - Fail-fast for windows signature verification failures. Adding -LiteralPath to update file path to disregard injected wildcards - Force strip path separators for backslashes on Windows during update process - Authentication for local mac squirrel update server - Disabled advertised shortcuts, since MSIs with advertised Start Menu shortcuts that have a Shortcut Property fails to install when deployed machine-wide via GPO but works fine in all other contexts. Admins using advertisement must apply an MST to re-enable it. See electron-userland/electron-builder#6508. - Removing optional NSIS icon ID from config and generating it automatically to synchronize IDs with Advertised Shortcuts and future features ```

@davej Seems possible. I'd have to investigate, but in the meantime let's discuss in the issue you linked. |

Add basic support for assisted installer, with UI to choose between per-user and per-machine. Supported config options: runAfterFinish, perMachine, oneClick. Not supported: license (EULA), allowToChangeInstallationDirectory, etc.
The UI dialogs are WelcomeDlg -> InstallScopeDlg -> VerifyReadyDlg. For
perMachine=true, InstallScopeDlg doesn't allow changing the scope. Starting with the useless WelcomeDlg instead of going straight to InstallScopeDlg allows us to reuse an existing dialog set (WixUI_InstallDir) to reduce the custom code here, and makes it easier to add/remove dialogs if more features are supported in the future (EULA, allowToChangeInstallationDirectory).I've tried to match the behaviour of NSIS for the supported config options based on what I came across in docs/PRs/issues.
This also prevents oneClick's runAfterFinish from executing when installed silently, because that's probably never desired (see Rocket.Chat.Electron #1839).
I've tested upgrading from the existing oneClick MSI to this PR's oneClick and assisted MSIs (for both per-user and per-machine), and it worked in all cases, including when the installation directory is different (due to this line changing to match NSIS). GPO installs also work.
