Matt Howell ba8e2a22b0 Bug 1324617 - Allow any of multiple installations to be set as the Windows default browser; r=jimm,rstrong
Previously each new installation of any Firefox channel in any location would
just overwrite the Windows registry keys which register us as a candidate for
the default browser setting and for all of our potential file and protocol associations.

This meant that only the most recent installation (across all channels) was ever
selectable in those settings.

It also meant that creating a new installation when one was already present
tripped Windows 10's shenanigans alarm, because it saw the registration for an
existing application getting clobbered by a new one and couldn't tell that they
were really the same application.

The response to that alarm going off is to reset the default browser to Edge,
and maybe or maybe not generate a system notification about that. This is the
cause of bug 1324617. Obviously we would like to prevent that outcome.

So with this commit we generate new registration entries for each installation,
by adding a hash of the install path to the relevant identifiers.
