Description
This PR changes the current behavior of each Cura version being installed as separate installations on Windows, to it now upgrading an existing version going forward. This eliminates the need to uninstall old versions after installing new ones and avoids unexperienced users having multiple separate versions installed at the same time. This should be more intuitive. Similar behavior is already true for Cura on macOS.
If users want to have multiple installations for some reason, they can still keep all the old ones by side. Only the versions after this PR become upgradable and replace each other.
In addition, this does some cleanups, additions and streamlining of the installation process.
All changes:
NSIS
MSI
This should make installation/uninstallation quite more convenient.

How Has This Been Tested?
NOT TESTED. I usually use Action to do test builds, but cannot figure out how they work here. Please start one, so I can check for mistakes!
