As inspired by #565 this PR hardcodes our GUID.

While the Electron-Builder docs recommend against this, this is the GUID we have already been using on Windows as generated from dev.pulsar-edit.pulsar, so this isn't actually changing our GUID at all. This just ensures that even if we ever change the AppID in the future the GUID will remain the same.

Once this PR is merged, we can then create a PR to GitHub Desktop to allow integration, being confident knowing we won't accidentally break that integration.

But even if we ever do, I've added a comment explaining the purpose of hardcoding this value, and what needs to be done if it ever changes, to ensure anyone working on this can be on the same page.

This was discussed on discord as well, I feel we should do this because it guarantees the GUID stability, and none of us could think of any downsides either
