cd10e02862 Revert "[host] avoid manual windres command"
This reverts commit d82f2e510d.
While the proposed change is more correct, it breaks the generation of
the file due to failure to locate the resource files, such as
`resources/icon.ico`.

8e98f863b6 [host] windows: detect whether screensaver is disabled in the guest
This will allow us to add an option to disable the screensaver on the client
when an application in the guest requests it. This behaviour may be useful
when the guest is doing media playback.

1761ea2b9b [host] windows: move log path to %ProgramData%\Looking Glass (host)
Instead of using %windir%\Temp, which is not accessible by default and
contains a lot of unrelated files, as the location for our log files,
this commit moves it to %ProgramData%\Looking Glass (host), which will
be a dedicated directory just for the LG host log files. This applies
to both the host application logs and the service logs.

Also, we now switched to using PathCombineA from shlwapi.dll instead
of using snprintf, which greatly simplifies the code. PathCombineA
guarantees that the path would not overflow a buffer of MAX_PATH.

ffa72c7992 [host] nvfbc: force composition to capture some full screen apps
NvFBC is unable to capture certain applications that bypasses the DWM
compositor, for example, Firefox playing video in full screen. This
has been a known issue for a long time with Nvidia's ShadowPlay, see:
* https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-experience/14/233709/
* https://crbug.com/609857

Nvidia won't fix this, but there are workarounds. For example, we
create a transparent 1x1 layered window, which forces desktop composition
to be enabled.

Note that SetLayeredWindowAttributes also supports alpha-based transparency,
but setting transparency to 0 will cause DWM to skip composition. We could
use a transparency of 1, but this ruins the image by the slightest bit,
which is unacceptable. Therefore, we must use chroma key-based
transparency, which tricks DWM into compositing despite being fully
transparent.

323aab8ec2 [host] windows: improve restart logic and remove mutex hack
Use the process handle returned by CreateProcessAsUserA to wait on the
process. This results in faster response times and less polling.
For example, it now restarts instantly when UAC is activated.

This also removes the call to OpenProcess and rendering the mutex unnecessary.

As a bonus, it should fix #298.

9a6b598438 [host] Windows: Implemented service to launch LG as the SYSTEM user
Experimental, use at your own peril!

This commit adds the ability for the LG host to install and launch with
Windows as a system service.

To install simply run `looking-glass-host.exe InstallService` or
conversely to uninstall `looking-glass-host.exe UninstallService`.
