This patch starts pinning Firefox to the Taskbar by default on all supported Windows versions. The main addition here is a port of our existing taskbar pinning code for modern Windows 10 & 11 versions to an NSIS plugin (compiled version also included).
After discussion with a few stakeholders, we also decided that we will never pin during an update on Windows 10 or 11. (Arguably we could stop on Windows 7 & 8 as well - but I don't really see any harm in carrying forward our pre-existing behaviour there.) With this in mind, I dropped all the second pinning attempt code (which was only ever enabled for Windows 10).

We need to be able to send POST data that's encoded as UTF-8, but the older
version of nsJSON we currently have only support UTF-16.

Because of a silly logic error I made in bug 1494900, the optional command line
parameter support introduced there doesn't actually work at all; I reversed the
sense of the check for the NSIS stack being empty. This fixes that by just using
the check that the popstring function was already doing.

We occasionally get reports of UI unresponsiveness immediately following the
download phase of the stub installer. The longest operation that runs on the
main thread during this phase is validating the code signature of the full
installer. This patch moves that work (which is done in a native NSIS plugin)
to a separate thread. Hopefully this helps resolve the hangs.
I've also converted the build files for the plugin from Visual C++ 6 to 2017,
just to avoid the inconvenience of needing to pull up VC6 to build it.

This fixes a bug which the main bug 986081 patch exposes because it tries to
cancel a download in InetBgDl and then show a dialog box immediately afterward.
Without this patch, doing that very early on in the request (meaning before any
redirect is fully handled) would result in a 10 second UI hang.
