* feat(portable): load per-customer payload from a PE resource
Customizing a Windows client recompiled the packer for every customer,
because data.bin was baked in with include_bytes!. The generic payload is
identical across customers, so only the small per-customer delta needs to
vary: the branded runner exe, custom.txt and the icons.
The packer now also reads an RDPKG RCDATA resource holding a second blob in
the same format, and folds it over the compiled-in payload. A build can then
inject that resource into a prebuilt template instead of running cargo.
The executable to launch comes from the package trailer, and the extraction
directory follows its stem, which replaces the sed of APP_PREFIX. Where the
executable itself is not customized (sciter x86) it stays in the generic
payload and is only renamed, so the merge covers both shapes.
custom.txt keeps being written to disk next to the app: that is what the
client reads at startup and what the updater stages so a customization
survives an upgrade to a stock build.
Also fixes generate.py restoring os.curdir (the literal ".") instead of the
previous working directory, which left it inside the source folder.
CI: ship windows-aarch64 in the unsigned tarball, so ARM custom clients have
a template to build from.

* ci: publish msi templates for custom client builds
Custom clients rebuild the msi through WiX for every customer, though the
package only differs by the app name, a few GUIDs and four files.
Build the msi once more per release with a __RDAPPNAME__ placeholder and ship
it unsigned in the unsigned tarball, so a customer's build can patch it rather
than run msbuild. It stays unsigned because patching would invalidate a
signature anyway.
Doing this in CI is what makes ARM custom clients possible: preprocess.py runs
the packaged exe to read its version and build date, so an arm64 msi can only
be produced on a native arm64 machine, which the runner already is and the
build agents are not. Patching runs no exe, so an x64 agent can then patch the
arm64 template.
preprocess.py rewrites res/msi in place and locates the app as <app-name>.exe
inside the dist, so the tree is reset around the second build and the dist copy
is renamed to match. Sciter x86 ships no msi and is untouched.

* refactor(msi): pass the app name to the printer custom actions
preprocess.py rewrote the CustomActions sources per customer so the printer
carried the app name, which meant the dll was recompiled for every custom
client and, worse, left the app name baked into a compiled binary.
Pass it through CustomActionData instead. Only the printer and its port ever
varied: the INF path and the driver name ship under their stock names and
preprocess.py already forced the driver name back to RustDesk, so a single
build of the dll now serves every custom client.
Both actions treat the name as optional and fall back to the stock name, so a
package built before this still installs and uninstalls its printer.
This also unblocks patching a prebuilt msi template, which cannot work while a
compiled dll contains the app name: replacing a string inside a PE would shift
everything after it.

* ci: use an 8.3-safe placeholder for the msi template
WiX derives a short name for any name that is not valid 8.3, and a patch
cannot rewrite a truncated placeholder, so a long placeholder would leave the
package's short names pointing at it. RDAPPNAM is eight characters like
"RustDesk" and needs no short name, keeping the template as close to the
shipped package as the mechanism allows.

* feat(msi): give a template its own cabinet for per-customer files
Rebranding recompressed the whole ~100MB payload because one cabinet held
everything. In template mode preprocess.py puts the handful of files a custom
client replaces on a second cabinet, so a patch rebuilds a few hundred KB and
leaves the payload cabinet alone. The shipped msi is built without template
mode and keeps its single cabinet.
The branding assets need conditional components. A stock build ships none of
them -- there is no icon.ico, icon.png or logo*.png, only icon.svg -- so the
template has to carry placeholders for the File rows to exist, and a customer
supplies whichever they want. Installing a placeholder unconditionally would
give a customer with no logo a placeholder image, where today a missing asset
means no logo at all: the client tries each candidate and treats the failure as
absence. So each optional asset installs only when its property says the
customer supplied one.
CI creates those placeholders and builds the template with the new mode.

* ci: build the msi template with a sentinel revision
preprocess.py appends a build-time revision as the fourth version field, so a
template built without one would bake the CI clock into every customer's
package. Revision 0 marks the field as the patcher's to fill in, and makes the
template deterministic.

* fix(portable): delete files a later package no longer carries
The extraction directory is wiped only when the packer's compiled-in timestamp
changes. That used to be per customer, because generate.py ran for each build;
now the packer is compiled once per release, so every customer and every
rebuild within a release share one timestamp and nothing is ever wiped.
A customer who removes their logo and rebuilds would therefore keep showing it:
the new package simply omits logo.png, and md5 skipping only covers files that
are still present. Record the package's paths in the extraction's meta file and
delete the ones a later package drops.

* fix(portable): build the dropped-file path from plain components
meta.toml lives in a user-writable directory and now drives deletion, but the
traversal guard tested the normalised string while the join used the raw one.
Path::join replaces the base outright when handed an absolute path, so an
edited meta.toml could point remove_file anywhere.
The path is now rebuilt from Normal components only. A colon is rejected
explicitly rather than left to the host's parser: a drive-relative "C:x" parses
as a Normal component everywhere, and only a Windows host reads "C:/..." as a
prefix, so the same input escaped when the logic was exercised off-Windows --
which is what the new test catches.

* fix(msi): pass the printer name in a format the custom action can read
[~] is MSI's escape for a NUL character, not the delimiter WcaReadStringFromCaData
splits on -- that is a literal wide char 128, which a Formatted property value
cannot carry -- and WcaGetProperty returns a null-terminated string anyway. So
the second field was unreachable: InstallPrinter always fell back to the stock
name and installed a printer and port called "RustDesk Printer" inside a
customer's branded package, while UninstallPrinter, whose data is a single field
and parsed fine, went looking for "Acme Printer" and left the real one behind
for good.
Both actions now read CustomActionData directly and split on a character that
cannot occur in a Windows path or in a validated app name. A package built
before this carries no separator and keeps the stock name, as it did.
