Add custom Windows tile

[J5lx]

Just as it says in the title – a little enhancement for those not yet on Windows 11 which I prepared while working on #848. To try it locally, simply download and extract the Windows artifact from the “Checks” tab of this PR, right-click pencil2d.exe and select “Pin to Start”. This will of course become more useful in conjunction with the installer PR, but it is already functional on its own.

In order to generate the package resource index for the tile images locally, the makepri tool from the Windows SDK must be available – but it is not needed when building only the program itself.

Also since I just noticed your screenshot, this doesn’t actually do anything on Windows 11 since Microsoft removed start menu tiles in that version. On Windows 10, it looks something like this:

Ah... so it's only for Windows 10... well thanks for clarifying that 🤦

Sorry for the commit spam, I had to wrestle with the CI a bit… But now everything is working and the PR is ready for review/merge again.

well thanks for clarifying that

I wrote “for those not yet on Windows 11” in the OP, but perhaps I should have been more explicit, sorry for the confusion.

Ah that's on me, I managed to skillfully miss the "not yet" part and did exactly what I shouldn't have then 😅

LGTM, merging
