* Windows components: install from a recording of the installer's result

A catalog entry may name a 'snapshot': what its own setup program leaves in a prefix,
recorded once in Wine by winlator-contents' tools/snapshot/record.py (the files it places and
the registry values it writes, the self-registering DLLs' CLSID entries included). With one,
the setup program never runs here: the files come from the archive beside the recording, or
out of the vendor's installer by the paths the recording maps (small generated ones inline),
and the registry values go to registry.json for droiddeck-wincomponents to write at launch.
The steps a recording makes redundant are skipped; DLL overrides still apply. A component
with a recording counts as installable; its prerequisites must still be.

* droiddeck-msi-install --unpack: open archives nested inside an installer

QuickTime's cabinets and an NSIS pack's payloads sit inside the unpacked installer; they are
opened in place into '<name>.nested' folders, two levels deep, the same layout the component
recordings map their file sources to, so a recording's paths resolve on the device (QuickTime:
593 of 593).
