Remove audio logo from NVDA launcher (#17507)
Closes #14068 Closes #15110 Summary of the issue: The NVDA launcher currently plays an audio logo when launched. This creates a number of problems: * Playback of this file uses winmm, which is a deprecated API. * Playback of this file may delay execution of the launcher, if it takes longer than unpacking the launcher does. (#14068) * The NVDA audio logo is 10 seconds long, whereas it typically takes around 6 seconds for the launcher to start the temporary NVDA on my machine. * Some users may want to silence playback of this sound altogether, which is currently not possible. (#15110) Description of user facing changes: The NVDA launcher is now silent until the temporary copy of NVDA it includes is started. Description of development approach: Removed all code related to playing the audio logo from launcher/launcher.nsis. Testing strategy: Built the launcher and ran it from explorer. Also ran NVDA from source patched to check for updates, and swapped the downloaded launcher for the one without the sound logo. Known issues with pull request: There is now an appreciable period of silence between NVDA quitting to perform an update, and the temporary NVDA speaking to read out the update progress.
