Clarify the behavior of what Boxstarter may do when it runs on a box
to install all the necessary tools so that there are no surprises to
the end user when the script is run.
Currently there is no interface that warns the user that Boxstarter
will reboot the machine possibly multiple times depending on how many
dependencies need to be installed and doesn't mention a need to disable
UAC. For folks who see what may look like a reboot loop, we feel it is
necessary to make them aware that UAC will be disabled and they will
need to take action to re-enable UAC manually if they interfere/stop
the script from finishing.

To support Performance Counters on Windows, a number of
global `COUNTER_` methods were added that are undocumented
and really only intended to be used internally by Node.js.
Unfortunately, the perfctr support apparently hasn't even
worked for quite a while and no one has even complained.
This removes the perfctr support and replaces the global
functions with deprecated non-ops for now, with the intent
of removing those outright in the next major release cycle.

This is a port of 14db629497.
Original commit message:
Since install is per machine only, installation path should be stored
in local machine instead of current user. The registry stores HKLM in
different places for 32 and 64 bit applications, so the installer
will not suggest the old path when upgrading from 32 to 64 bit
version.

This is an adaptation of 8e80528453.
Original commit message:
The MSI install scope was set to the WiX default, which is per-user.
However, with UAC, it could not be installed by a standard user
because InstallPrivileges is elevated by default, hence the install
scope should be set to per-machine. Furthermore, the default install
path is a per-machine location and setting the system path requires
administrator privileges.
By changing the InstallScope to perMachine, Start Menu shortcuts are
placed in ProgramData and not the installing user's AppData folder,
making the shortcuts available to other users. This also fixes the
installation when AppData is a network folder.
The custom action is necessary to allow upgrades. Since a per-machine
MSI cannot upgrade an application installed per-user, the custom
action checks if there is going to be an upgrade to a previous
version installed per-user and sets the installation as per-user to
allow upgrading. Hence, the advantages of installing per-machine will
only apply in fresh installations.

The original change that added support for running custom actions
during the install process
(joyent/node@e7c84f82c7) assumed that
Visual Studio 2013 is used to generate the installer file.
However, that is not always the case, and older versions of Visual
Studio should allow users to generate Windows installer files. This
change makes the custom actions visual studio project use the visual
studio version that is found by vcbuild.bat.

In theory the msi should broadcast a 'WM_SETTINGCHANGE' message to all
windows after modifying the PATH environment variable. This ensures that
the new PATH is visible to other processes without restarting windows
(although it's still necessary to close and reopen active console
windows).
Unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't always happen, for unknown reasons.
That's why this patch adds a custom action that unconditionally
broadcasts a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message.
