Adds support for console apps in Visual Studio projects.

This involves:

  • Modifying the stub executable code to not perform the stdout/logger redirection used by GUI apps
  • Link the stub binary against the Console system rather than the Windows subsystem
  • Outputting app-name.exe rather than Formal Name.exe
  • Modifying the MSI installer to add the installation path to the PATH environment (either the user's path or the system path, depending on the installation type selected).
