Requires a few hacks regarding the installer, to prevent the "Install Rosetta" dialog from being shown and also make the package non-relocatable, which wreaks havoc when installing on development machines,like overwriting the bundle in the build dir.
Removed 32-bit build as everyone should nowadays run a 64-bit Windows. Also switched to the NuGet vcpkg cache to speed up builds.

This PR is a long-running project finally being (almost) done: creating proper installation layouts for the application on all major operating systems and add packaging configurations to create useable packages or installers which can be released without further modifications.
Where applicable, the application will now have a proper icon and OS start menu shortcuts.
The only thing missing here is a proper installer for Windows, as using WIX doesn't work due to path length limitations, which always trigger when trying to package any presets into the MSI installer. This is a remaining to-do item: adding a proper NSIS CPack configuration instead.
On macOS, the PKG installer and the app itself are currently not signed, as we lack a Developer ID for projectM. This may change in the future if we offer regular, official releases. So for now, the quarantine bit must be removed manually via
xattrprior to running the installer or Gatekeeper will refuse to run it.
