i18n in the Windows installer was disabled in 2016 for Reasons and never re-enabled.

There have been no complaints about lack of localization in the intervening years, suggesting there isn't a huge demand for it either.

Let's remove the files because it was confusing at least one potential contributor.

"installer" has definitely been used in the past, silly bot.

"installer" has definitely been used in the past, silly bot.

If you want to add installer, we'll need to add it to https://github.com/nodejs/core-validate-commit/blob/a3cb753bc1a2d57457959ffd28578c2b44aa93a4/lib/rules/subsystem.js.

The installer subsystem hasn't been used in a commit message for over six years, though. It's probably easier to switch the commit message here to build (or tools).
