Closes #135
After the update, the pin still opened Strand, but its saved icon path pointed to a missing Windows Installer file.
Tauri's MSI template sets
ProductIconon the Start Menu shortcut. This removes that setting so Windows can use the icon fromstrand.exe.Maintenance cost: Tauri has no per-shortcut icon setting, so this replaces its full WiX template with a Strand-owned copy. That copy will need to be synced when Tauri changes its template.
Still unverified: The exact update path and behavior during a Windows MSI upgrade with an existing pin. An old pin may need to be pinned again.
