During installation, append ipfs-desktop/assets/bin-win to the PATH on Windows. It's also removed during installation. The directory contains a script that executes our bin script that redirects the arguments to the actual binary. That way we have some flexibility about what we can do in the future.

The code used to manipulate the PATH comes from this resources:

Also, I had to disable "warnings as errors" because Electron Builder is using Macros for custom install and uninstall sections so when building the installer, NSIS didn't know if we were calling the functions in the correct places. It threw a warning that was treated as an error. Not anymore.

Addresses #727.

Sadly I don't have Windows VM to test this :'(

@djdv are you able to do a quick check, or know who can?

(npm ci && npm run build will output installer to dist/, I think)

I encountered an unrelated issue with npx during install (zkat/npx#209)
But besides that, everything worked as expected on my machine. 👍
After installation, the PATH var was modified to include the mentioned path, when uninstalled, it was no longer there in new environments.
Running ipfs.cmd gave me no issues after installation.
