PC-BASIC release 15.03.2

Release 15.03.2 fixes a few annoying bugs:

• Programs are now saved in the user's home directory on Windows and OS X (on Linux, this already worked correctly).
• On Windows, single-user and non-administrator installs are now possible.
• A crash on startup in OS X is fixed.

Since these fixes don't affect the Linux build, the latest version on Linux remains 15.03.1.
