Add signing certificate for Windows installer #485

@JWCook

Description

@JWCook

Currently, the Windows installer triggers a warning from Microsoft Defender SmartScreen ("SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting...").

To get rid of this, the app needs to be code-signed with a trusted certificate. Those tend to be expensive, but SignPath offers free code signing for some open source projects. There is an application process, but this project may meet the requirements (except evidence of popularity...?). Terms of use: https://signpath.org/terms
