Max Gaukler 60661f6770 CPack/WiX: Make InstallScope configurable
Add a new `CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE` variable to set the `InstallScope`
when using the default WiX template.  Set the default to the bug-free
value `perMachine`.

----------------
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack WIX Generator` gained a new variable,
:variable:`CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE`, to control the
``InstallScope`` property of WiX MSI installers.
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack WIX Generator` now produces WiX MSI installers
that create start menu and uninstall entries for all users by default,
as documented by the :variable:`CPACK_WIX_INSTALL_SCOPE` variable
``perMachine`` value. Previously, without a custom WiX template,
it produced installers that would only create start menu and uninstall
entries for the current user, even though they install for all users.
