Change Description
Changes to support mullvad-browser#80 (closed).
In particular, we need to save some stuff in the registry when we install the browser.
Then we have to clean them when we uninstall it.
Most of it has been adapted form Firefox's installers.
These NSIS changes require some new plugins.
Instead of finding hard ways to include them in the built, since Firefox includes their source code, I decided to build them when building Firefox, and add them to the exported artifactsm even though this means we always rebuild a couple of plugins.
