rustdesk 63f8177132 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.
