This adds a MSIX installer.

The eventual goal is that we might be able to put Julia in the Windows Store with this.

At this moment it is very much an experiment, though.

The build step seems to work, but one has to sign the created msix file to be able to install it, but that should probably occur somewhere else. The command that I used locally that worked is SignTool sign /fd SHA256 /a /f mycert.pfx /p mysupersecretpassword julia-4b9ceb55d7-win64.msix. This has instructions for other modes, for example when the certificate is installed in the cert store etc.

Given that we now have tarballs that we produce in BinaryBuilder of Julia itself, it should be possible to do new installers such as this outside this repo in a separate JuliaLang repo.
