Add instructions and files used to build installers for Windows For this commit, the included .aip file, and qortal.jar, match what was used to produce the installer for release v1.2.2. In a future commit, maybe remove qortal.jar as it is only included here to illustrate current location in build tree. Updates to .aip file could be, and maybe even should be, committed. This build toolchain uses AdvancedInstaller v16 or better but may require an (expensive) enterprise licence. It is possible to obtain an 'open source'-use free licence from AdvancedInstaller by contacting them directly. However this may result in restricted functionality with AdvancedInstaller and some installer features, e.g. multi-language support, may have be to removed.

* AdvancedInstaller v19.4 or better, and enterprise licence.
* Qortal has an open source license, however it currently (as of December 2024) only supports up to version 19. (We may need to reach out to Advanced Installer again to obtain a new license at some point, if needed.
* Reach out to @crowetic for links to the installer install files, and license.

## General build instructions
If this is your first time opening the `qortal.aip` file then you might need to adjust
configured paths, or create a dummy `D:` drive with the expected layout.

Opening the aip file from within a clone of the qortal repo also works, if you have a separate windows machine setup to do the build.
You May need to change the location of the 'jre64' files inside Advanced Installer, if it is set to a path that your build machine doesn't have.
The Java Memory Arguments can be set manually, but as of December 2024 they have been reset back to system defaults. This should include G1GC Garbage Collector.

Typical build procedure:
Removed outdated qortal.jar from "WindowsInstaller/Install Files" directory. Including an older JAR in the source code only leads to confusion, because a zip of the source code is automatically included with each github release. From what I can see, there is no need for it to be here. Added to .gitignore so we have the option of keeping a local copy.

* Place the `qortal.jar` file in `Install-Files\`

* Open AdvancedInstaller with qortal.aip file
* If releasing a new version, change version number in:
+ "Product Details" side menu entry
+ "Product Details" tab in "Product Details" pane
* Click away to a different side menu entry, e.g. "Resources" -> "Files and Folders"
* You should be prompted whether to generate a new product key, click "Generate New"
* Click "Build" button
* New EXE should be generated in `Qortal-SetupFiles\` folder with correct version number
