Xpack: wix toolset support

[A2va]

TODO:

• Add to PATH
• Add xpack components
• Submit package to xmake-repo

There are two drawbacks:

• From what I have learned with the wix toolset, you cannot set the order of the actions (installing files, creating folders). So the commands set in before_installcmd or after_installcmd can be executed at the same time.
• The actions that wix can perform are limited, so the move and cd commands are not supported.

Does it ready now?

There are a few things missing (unit tests, ...), I will test again tomorrow and the review can be done this weekend.
If anyone wants to try and provide feedback, I will be happy to take it.

[waruqi]

you can add this new format in test.

xmake/tests/plugins/pack/xmake.lua

Line 22 in c31fa8f

set_formats("nsis", "srpm", "rpm", "zip", "targz", "srczip", "srctargz", "runself")

it will be tested on ci.

Thanks, I will test it in these days.

I tried it, but I get some errors.

I think I know why.
The WIX_EXTENSIONS env is registered as C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\.xmake\packages\w\wixtoolset\5.0.0\361647656cc344cc8086fd2a7e53dd19\bin in the manifest.txt
It's certainly because it downloaded wix from the precompiled package, at least that is the the case on my end.

        package:addenv("WIX_EXTENSIONS", package:installdir("bin"))

We should set relative path.

        package:addenv("WIX_EXTENSIONS", "bin")

I fixed it, at least the first run, it works. But the second run still has this problem.

But when running wix for the second time it still has the problem.

[waruqi]

And you can add wix to https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/blob/master/core/xpack.lua to test xmake installer.

[waruqi]

You can continue to improve it to wix branch. #5153

And I will aslo improve it.
