Add Windows installer via Inno Setup

New packaging/windows/orbithub.iss packages the build directory's
top-level contents directly (orbithub.exe, *.dll, platforms/,
sqldrivers/) rather than going through cmake --install: vcpkg's own
applocal DLL deployment already drops every required runtime dependency
flat into build/ on every build (confirmed repeatedly this session), and
the existing private-runtime-lib install() rule uses an RPATH-style Unix
convention (lib/orbithub/) that doesn't work on Windows, where DLLs must
sit next to the exe. Produces a single OrbitHub-Setup-<version>.exe with
a Start Menu entry, optional desktop shortcut, and uninstaller.

build-installer.ps1 reads the project version from build/CMakeCache.txt
(same approach build-deb.sh already uses) and drives ISCC.exe.

Code signing is out of scope for now (no certificate available), so the
installer will trigger a SmartScreen warning until one is purchased.
